Actually, not to nitpick but, I think all 9800 Pro's used the molex connector. I owned an R350 9800np and two R360 9800 Pro's and bought a couple more for friends and all had molex connectors.
All of the 9500/9700 series cards had the floppy style power connector
.
Plus, to the best of my knowledge, these cards won't boot unless you have the extra connector in. The system will just beep at you.
