6 pin power connector for graphics cards?

Where is it located in my computer and how can I tell if I have one?

Answers:
It is called the pci express power connector and if you have one it will be a cable that extends from your power supply.

Do not worry if you do not have one, every card I've seen that requires it also comes with an adapter so that you can convert the regular 4 pin power connector to the 6pin pci express connector.
Well typically unless your computer is less than a year old I would imagine your power supply is not even equipped with the 6pin connector. And typically only newer video cards such as Nvidia Geforce 8800 or a high power consuming video card needs such a connector. And most video cards that have them are very noticeable where it plugs into. Unless you have high-end graphics card or new power supply you won't even have it or have any use for it.
