New ATX 2.03 Power Supplies?

[NuovoTech]

Anyone know if newer boards like the KT7A(w/1.2TBird) *require* an ATX 2.03 PS? Or will an older ATX 2.01 do? I realize the +5Vsb is higher (max 2.0 amps vs .8), but what else is new with the ATX 2.03? TIA

Could it be a new Intel/Pentium4 mobo requirement?

The atx 2.03 is for the P4 combo.

What was the changes to the ATX 2.01 spec?.. anything interesting (usefull)?

Jgtdragon - So if I'm using a TBird, I do not need it rite?

It was made for newer cpu like the P4. You can use it if you want.
The 2.01 still works well for the T-bird, but if you buy the 2.03 you don't have to worry upgrading power supply if you decide to upgrade to newer cpu in the future.

My new Antec 303x says 2.03!!! Cool...but I wonder if it'll really
work on a P4......Greg

Greg - If it has an extra 4-pin connector (12V direct supply) it will work with P4 mobos, if not, I've heard U can buy special adapters 4 that...
