I was looking at a manufacturers site (can't remember which) and I saw inclusion of 8-pin pci-e connectors. What the hell are those, and is it something I need for future builds? My OCZ Powerstream is already outdated (but quite sufficient for SLI with a simple adapter plug), and I don't want to keep buying parts that won't work together (I'm slowly buying here and there for my next build- wife doesn't get "credit card shock" ;) )

From what I understand the 8-pin is a new connector to meet the needs of future power hungry graphics cards. I'm pretty sure the R600 cards will be using this connector.
