[Lazarus]

Guys,

Anyone care to explain the difference between ATX and ATXv2.0 power supplies.

Some GFX cards require a v2.0 compliant puwer supply and I need to know how to tell the difference.

think atx 2.0 mobo have a molex or a diff 4 pin) socket as well so you gotta plug psu socket anf a molex socket into the mobo as well.

just checked on wiki and im sorta right as well, how geeky :/
