Pci x cards have a plug in spot on them usually it is a 6 pin spot. some like sli cards have 8 pin plugs. anyway you need to look on the card for a plug in spot. a socket which holds a plug. older agp style cards these are 4 pin plugs just like the plug for a cd or dvd drive. see which type of plug you have. then search through all the unused plugs from your power subbly. if you have the correct one plug it in .if not you will need a new power supply to run that card.
