What PSU do you have? This would help figure out your wiring situation.
Just off the top of my head you would probably wire it like so.
PSU -> 6-PIN PCI-E connector -> 6-PIN PCI-E PLUG #1 on HD4870
+
PSU -> MOLEX 4-PIN #1 + MOLEX 4-PIN #2 -> 4-PIN to 6-PIN PCI-E connector - 6-PIN PCI-E PLUG #2 on HD4870
You must ensure that both 6-PIN PCI-E PLUGS on the HD4870 are connected for that card to work...
I have the PSU a guy suggested earlier in the thread : http://www.ebuyer.com/product/124927
i bascialy have two 6 pins as i showed in the photo, however they have 2 white connectors and im not sure if both of those need to be connected or not. Since i find it hard to believe it would need 4 power connectors from the PSU, but it is one powerful card...
