I recently got an Nvidia 7900 GS PCI-E graphics card.
However this card requires the newer 6 pin connector from the PSU.
In the PC we are trying to fit this into there is only 1 spare P8 (4 pin) connector and 1 P4 (6 pin connector).
The only adapters I have been able to find require 2 P8s which we don't have.
Are there any available adapters that would allow us to use this card?
Thanks in advance for any help given.

If your PSU doesn't have the adapters to run the card, it probably isn't powerful enough to run it safely anyway, I strongly recommend purchasing a newer PSU like an Antec EarthWatts 380W unit.
