ATX12V vs. EPS12V

Can somebody give me a run down on the differences? I'm going to be running the DFI LP NForce 4 Ultra, and so I'm worried about the 24-pin deal.

I know for sure that EPS standard power supplies have the 24-pin connector, and the latest revision of ATX (2.01) has 24 pins as well (www.formfactors.org).

Is there some other fundamental difference between the two standards or will I be fine with either one? Thanks for all help

Note: don't reply with just a recommendation as I would prefer to do the research myself and I am actually interested in the differences.
 
The specs are different, you can look them up on formfactors.org if I'm not mistaken, the 24 pin EATX connector is the same in the EPS and ATX12V spec. they are also the same pinout and an EPS and ATX 12V supply can be used interchangedably, the biggest difference is most EPS supplies don't have the PCI-E 6pin connector and many ATX12V supplies do.
