Hi,

bought new components, but kept the old psu (SilverStone Zeus 520W).
The old psu has two 6-pin connectors but neither has the right
configuration for my new HD4870. The one labeled as "PCI-E" has the
"empty" pin in the middle of the "lower" three pins, but neither
6-pin connector has the right combination of square and round edges.
Could I just buy two of "dual molex to 6-pin" adapters? Can my PSU
handle it? Sorry about the crappy post, but I am unable to upload
images.. Thanks a lot in advance :)

Should work fine. You'll need two molex connector for each 6-pin though so unless your 4870 is different than mine you'll need 4 open molex connectors.

Edit: Just noticed you specified "dual-molex" in your post. Yes, you should be fine.
