but the HD4850X2 requres a 6-pin PCI-E Connector AND an 8-pin PCI-E connector.
Why the HELL would ATI Make such a decision? Sure its a great video card, but it is worth the extra 100$ everyone's gonna have to spend on a new power-supply?

You can get an adapter. The 8 pin is just two extra grounds, not anymore power

Get an adapter with 2x molex. That would give you 4+4 wires (8) if you are worried. The problem with adapters arises from putting to many amps through too few wires. I.E. a 8 pin with a single 4pin molex adapter.

I mean, I've heard some bad stories with adapters of all sorts. Yeah, my friend uses a 6-pin to 8-pin PCIe adapter, as long as your PSU has the amps available it should be fine. (He is running an HD 4850x2 as well).
