Ack, need urgent help with power supply

I bought a new CPU\Motherboard (A64 3200+ and DFI NF4 Mobo) to replace my current IC7\P4 combo, and I am now just reading that this motherboard requires a 24 pin connection from the power supply, yet mine is only 20 pin. It's an Antec TruePower 430w, and I bought it because I thought it would last awhile, but these recent events have proved otherwise 🙁

Did I read something wrong, or am I going to need to replace my fairly new Antec PS? The stuff will be here on Thursday, and I really don't want to wait to get a new PS 🙁

-Edit-

I just looked at my Antec box, and it says ATX12V 2.03 Complaint.
How is that possible? The Toms Hardware roundup posted today states that 2.01 is the newest standard.
 
You don't need a 24pin PSU. Go to GH, there's a sticky about it. 20 pin boards work fine without 24 pin PSU's...as long as it's a good brand.
