Video card

Computer would not work with the old card so bought a new one same type geforce 9800GT. The new one has twice the memory.
Another difference is the size, the new one is smaller, and another difference gives me a possible problem.
It has a power cable to plug into the top of the video card and somewhere on the MB. It is a small black two pin plug, wires are blue and white.
I can find a similar wire plugged into the back of the MB but I know not where it goes. Tough to find out what that socket is all about and to read the output if it is indeed a power outlet.
The card seems to work OK, is recognised. But I do not know if the extra power is required. It could power the fan?
Does anyone have knowledge of this video card, and how to correctly set it up?
