Power to 6800GT

As the price on MSI 6800GT have fallen to only 21 USD (Swedish prices) more than the Asus X800XL, I'm thinking of taking the MSI instead.

My question is, can the 6800GT draw power from a PSU without PCI-E connector by using the bundled power adapter?

From review at Viperlair.com:
There is also the required power dongle which draws power from one Molex source and adapts it for the 6-pin PCI Express connection on the card.

What is Molex? Is that a connection all PSU:s have? So by using an adapter I don't need a PSU with a PCI-E connector?
 
Yeah, with that adapter you should be fine even if your PSU doesn't have a decicated PCI-E power conector...Molex is the standard 4-pin connector that's used for drives and such.
