Vid card power Q

OK, my 3870 x2 should be here tomorrow, and I have a question about getting power to it.

It needs both a 6-pin and an 8-pin input.

My 620HX has 2 Pci-E power leads. BOTH have a 6-pin and an 8-pin.

Which would be better?

1. Use the 6-pin and 8-pin off of one cable?

2. Use both cables, and the 6-pin off of one, and the 8-pin off of the other?

I'd prefer option 1 as that will make cable management easier.

Anyone have any advice for this?
