Where are the molex connectors located for powering a video card?

Do all or most computers have them? I'm not sure if I'll be able to upgrade my graphics card if I don't have them. I have a Dell Precision 670 if that helps.|||The Molex connectors are the normal connectors, they will also plug into hard drives and cd/dvd drives. There are usually quite a few in your computer. Here is a Google Image search for Molex connectors:

|||yes most pcs' have a spare power lead with a connector and most cards come with an adapter so if its not the right one .. theres generally 3 styles ..|||Yes, all pcs have molex connectors and usually a few extra for extra peripherals like your graphics card too. And even if you don't have enough connectors a molex connector splitter can make you an extra one. But remember to check to see if your power supply can supply enough power to the graphics card too. Also some graphics cards don't even require a molex connector so you might be able to find on that doesn't need one if necessary.|||you are talking about the pci-e connector that modern video cards are using. If your PSU doesn't have one, then there are pci-e/molex adapters like this one here:

A retail (not OEM) card will usually have the adapter included.
