Default [Answered] How do I connect the Geforce 6600GT (AGP) power cord?

I just bought and installed a Geforce 6600GT graphics card for my computer (Athlon XP 2800, 1.5GB RAM, win2k, asus A7V8X-X mobo). It works fine, but I get a message every time Windows starts up saying I need to connect the extra power cable that came supplied with the card, because there is not enough power. This is probably a stupid question, but the manual doesn't mention how to connect the power cord. I can see that one end plugs into the graphics card, but what/where do I connect the other end too?

One of your spare (white) molex/PSU power cables should connect to the card. DO NOT plug it in whilst the PC is on. Unplug the power cable from the back of the PC first.

Ah thanks. I was confused because of the additional cable that comes with the card, but I guess that's for some other purpose. Thanks for your help.
