A power supply question?

Guys,

I have a power supply question, due to my ignorance of newer units, centering on dual +12v rails. I recently set up a new system at home, consisting of an EPoX 9NPA+ Ultra board, AMD Venice 3200+ processor, 1GB OCZ PC3200, Leadtek 6600GT PCI E x16 video card. The power supply I'm using is an Enermax Noisetaker AX Series EG495AX-VE SFMA 2.0 ATX12V 485W unit. It has dual +12v output.

Does the dual rail output depend on which connectors I use? Is there any balancing I need to do, regarding the various wire looms? Or, is the split done internally in the p.s.? Or, does all this become an issue only when one is using SLI and video cards requiring additional power connection? I know these are basic and dumb questions. If you have a link to something that describes this whole dual output concept, thanks.

TIA,

Jeff
 
I think one is for the mobo one is for the newer videocards with SLI...Haven't really researched it.

You don't need to do anything special as far as I know
