Ive been running on my athlon xp 1600+ and gf4 ti4200 for a couple years now, and it seems that our good times are coming to an end. With the release of Battlefield 2 coming in the next month or so, Im starting to seriously look at new parts, but I also saw how the new nForce 4 boards use a 24 pin PSU connector instead of the 20 pin one i have on my fairly recent 480w Thermaltake PSU.
Im currently looking at this motherboard for my upgrade, and have heard that you can leave the extra 4 pins empty, but that they are used power the pci-e graphics card. Will this cause any stability problems, namely if I were to try to get a card such as an X800XL, or should I not worry about it? Thanks for any advice you guys can give me.
(Also, if you have any suggestions about a better motherboard for the money and/or would have less stability problems using only a 20 pin connector, please throw those in too)
