That was my thought too. Even if it *does* work without it, there may be a reason internally you can't see why it is required. (Ex. Putting extra stress on a component causing it to fail in 6 months)

Why mess around trying to figure out when it does work and when it doesn't, we know it definitely works when you plug it in, and I can't think of any good reason why you wouldn't. Even if you don't have a free connector, get a Y-cable. (For example, my card is installed in a SFF Compaq Deskpro, which didn't have any free connectors...)
