A8N32-SLI and 20 pin PSU's

Before I decide to buy this mobo I want to know some stuff, so any help is appreciated.

1. First off, it is supposed to work with 20pin PSU's, right?

2. As far as SLI (I doubt I'd ever use this), it should still work using the "EZ Plug," right?

3. The 4 extra pins for ATX12V 2.2 are for the 75 watts for PCI-Express, true?

4. The 8-phase power management -- is it hindered in any way by not using an ATX12V 2.0+ compliant PSU?

If you are wondering why I am not using a dual rail PSU in this case, the answer is I am using two fairly high amperage (34) 12v PSU's: One for drives, peripherals, fans, etc, the other just for the mobo/cpu (gpu's? -- depends on the answer to #3 I suppose).

The one allocated to drives and other stuff is currently operating a duplicator and anticipating extra burners.
 
1) yes
2) the ez plug is for video card that do not have the pci-e power connectors on it. some people still plug it in for stabliblity (i have one built with 2x7800gtx without that plugged in fine,cpu and ram overlocked, with a 24pin psu no stability problems at all)
3) If i remeber right yes,
4) nope
