I've read the sticky at the top and am slightly confused.

Currently I have a enermax 460W Enermax EG465P-VE that supplies 33AMPs on the 12 volt rail.

I have a brand new ultra-d and a 6600GT that does NOT have a pci-e power connector on it.

My question is this:

Do i need the adapter? Or will I need one to power my card?

I really dont want to scrap my PSU as I really dont have the money to buy a new one. Will my current cpu hold up to overclocking a San Diego 3700+?

According to DFI, you need a 24pin PS to for the most stability with their nF4 boards, and you should definately have a 24pin PS for OCing.

I can testify to the fact that you can run the ultra-d with a 20 pin PS and still have absolute stability, but I dont' know about OCing.
