1) im just curious, how does a 6-pin connector or an 8-pin connector connects to a PCI-E slot to give it power?
2) ive heard 6-pin connectors r used for PCI-E slots on mobos today, n i understand that all mobos currently support PCI-E v1.1, now my question is this, would i need an 8-pin connector to connect to a mobo that supports PCI-E v2.0 in the future when AM3 comes around or what?
3) PFC, important to have correct?
here's a PSU im looking into to get so i can use an R600 *buy at the same time, hopefully* n im planning on getting another R600 or R680 at the end of this year. I'm currently using a 550w PSU that came with my case:

EDIT:
ive someone can clear on what these 6-pin n 8-pin connectors r used exactly, then ill change to a differ PSU. I'm planning on getting AMD's second quad-core, Budapest, an AM3 mobo, 2 x 2GB DDR3 SDRAM all Q1-Q2 2008 or so.
EDIT 1:
i bolded question 1 n 2, because i really need those 2 questions answered, because i read that 6-pin n 8-pin connectors r used for connecting to PCI-E slots *i think* n i need to know this before i buy or even decided on getting this PSU. EXPERT NEEDED HERE PLZ!
