Do you mean the PCiE slot? I was referring to power connector cords. Never seen anything related to the motherboard for video card power.

On my home PC's, all the motherboards have a socket for a graphics card. On my MacPro's (at least the 5,1) there are two sockets on the motherboard. For PC, I guess it depends on what MB you get, if you're doing a BYO system (which is what I think is the best thing about PC's – it makes it fun) : )

Just wondering, being a PC guy mainly. Does the motherboard have the power cables for the video card coming out of it? Or the power supply? Couldn't the power supply be replaced for a higher end on with more connections? Or is that not really an option on Mac Pros?

I'm running two ATI Radeon HD 5770 on an eight core MacPro running 10.6.4 or 10.6.7, I forget which. These cards were single power cable setups. The motherboard has two total connector ports.

I keep searching on various sites and haven't seen the type of Y connector that it would need. I'm sure some of you have done this so I'm tapping the group think on this one.
