I'm finally getting around to building a system based on a mobo that has been laying around here for a long time: and IWILL DVD266-uRN. The board is a dual processor, Socket 370 mobo, and I'm populating it with a couple of 866 Mhz P3 FCPGA processors.
I've got it working with one processor, and will install the other tomorrow (needed a HSF for it, which I got tonight).
The case I'm using happens to have a 400W PS with the P4 type of 12X power connector. I didn't think I'd need it, but right in the middle of this mobo is a place to plug this in! What's it for, and do I need it?
I actually have the system working without it.
The manual that came with the mobo is absolutely worthless on this point.
TIA for any help.
