A few Noob Questions

[Spookie]

I just bought a Abit NF7-S and was looking through the manual before my cpu came from another source and i noticed theres 2 atx power connectors.

A 20 pin standard connector (Atxpwr1) and a smaller 4 pin (Atx12v1) next to it....do i use both or just the single normal 20 pin??

I'm assuming i connect both but i thought i'd better ask, better safe than sorry,

Also i read if you have two sticks of DDR ram and u want to go duel channel u put one in dimm3 (blue) and work ur way backwards...what if you just have one stick?

Both

Yes you have to connect both 20 pin and the 4 pin.

If you only have one stick, It doesn't really matter, I would just stick in Dim slot one.

Yes, use both if your psu supports it (needs to have 2 12v rails). When i first hooked up my NF7, I could use only the regular 20 ATX connector cuz my psu did'nt have the second rail and 4 pin connector. It ran fine like that.

I have both 20 pin and 4 pin on my psu so thats cool guys i'll connect both,thanks to everybody that was a great help.
