Never mind about the two pin cable, I figured it out. It is a SPDIF cable to feed audio from your MB to your gfx cards HDMI out.

Re: nVidia 9500GT vs 9600GT, which to buy?
The card I got is a XFX GeForce 9600 GT 512MB DDR3 Standard (PV-T96G-YDF4)
Drivers I'm using are nVidia 177.70 beta
All is working just fine:)
Re: nVidia 9500GT vs 9600GT, which to buy?
Nice. I almost ordered a 9600GT, but for less money, I got an 8800GT. Should arrive today.

Yeah, I got a 9800 GTX ($170 USD) and I'm using the same drivers.

I had issues with the Envy install on x64. So I did it manually, and it runs great.

The 8800GT is more expensive than the 9600GT by a significant margin over here.

That's what I thought but I'm going to have to find a silent cooling solution for this card. My old Gigabyte 6600 used silent pipe technology.I hate fan noise ;)

Lucky bugger on the 9800GTX.
I use Arch so I just install the beta drivers from AUR which is pretty easy.
Going from a plain 6600 to a 9600GT is a huge improvement for me :)
Re: nVidia 9500GT vs 9600GT, which to buy?
8500GT = 9400 series
8600GT = 9500 series
8800GT = IDENTICAL to 9800GT
8800GTS 512mb = 9800GTX & 9800GTX+ (9800GTX+ pulls away slightly)
8800GTX = 9800GTX (8800GTX wins with lots of AA or ultra high res, 9800GTX wins with more shading going on.
