Solve : Strange 2 pin power connector?!?!?

Answer»

I recently came to own a Zotec GeForce 6200 AGP 512meg video card for my backup computer (the one i let company use..) and it runs games.. OK. But after scouring online and visually eyeballing the card I seen a small 2 pin connector (for POWER, i assume) on the bottom of the card. Could explain why every 3-D game it runs, it runs really CHOPPY. Where do I FIND a 2 pin connector? I looked online and there doesn't seem to be any info on turning a 4 or 6 pin to a 2 pin power connector. The power supply doesn't seem to have one and I didn't notice any new power supplies having a 2 pin connector. If someone knows what to do to give that card some juice - please lemme know!
I put a link below so you can SEE the connector for yourself.

The pin connector I'm talking about is under the 3 capacitors and next to the heat sink.It is a "fan header" (a power outlet for a fan). The picture you linked to shows the version of the card with a passive cooler (no fan). The choppy 3d gaming performance is nothing to do with this. This $54 video card is somewhat underpowered by today's STANDARDS.

Here is a version with a fan.
