Newbie question here about ATX Standards for Power Supplies

[tigreroars]

A newbie here.

What's the difference between a ATX12V and an ATX2.04 power supply? Or am I mixing up numbers and it should be an ATX2.03 power supply?

Or more to the point, which ATX standard would i need for the new P4 Northwoods?

Thanks

For a Pentium4 you need an ATX 2.03 power supply (or later) and this includes the extra 12V connector to the motherboard.

what you'll want is "ATX 2.03 12V." Read up on the subject at www.formfactors.org.

Thanks people.

I read through the ATX/ATX12V FAQ at www.formfactors.org, but they didn't talk about the ATX 2.03 standard. Is there a ATX 2.03 standard and a ATX 2.03 12V standard? or the standards the same?

Get the .pdf file right Here-page six.

Maybe I need a new set of glasses.

Thanks.
