ATX 12v PSU Question

If I get an ATX 12v PSU can I use that with an Athlon motherboard. I am thinking you just don't use the 12v connector right? I want to upgrade the PSU on my Athlon to a P4 one so I can add a P4 motherboard later.

Depends on the P4 motherboard u want...if u get the Asus P4B266 it can work with older PSUs as well. And it's the best DDR P4 board out now.

Thanks for the quick information, and Palos, the P4B266 is the one I am considering looks really great.

Actually I was looking at the Gigabyte 8SRX Much cheaper and overclocks better than the ASUS due to the AGP/PCI speed lock. Plus the ASUS has problems with overclocking and USB 1.1 devices
