I was checking out the various reviews of the X800XL and I'm still puzzled by two new connectors:

If you look at the pictures of the ATI cards found in the review above, there are two connectors that are unused:
- The yellow connector beside the PCIe GFX power insert
- The white connector (4pin?) not too far from the PCIe GFX power insert

What do they do!!

Thanks for your help,

Cheers!
 
Yellow is for a VIVO connection to a front panel (comes with Europe's cards). The white one looks like another fan connector--definitely not anything fancy.
 
for some reason the yellow one looks like an audio cable that comes from the cd rom!!!

i think the black one is a power connector though
 
Quoting the article...

The black 3x2 connector is for power... ATI supplies an adapter to go from 4 pin molex to the 6 pin whatever-that-is.
