Power connection question on the Abit IS7-E

I have replaced the power supply on my old P3 system with an Enermax EG365P-VE in the past year but will be upgrading to a P4 system with Abit IS7-E MB. I noticed on the motherboard that there are 2 power connectors, One looks like the standard connector used on the P3 board (located near the FD cable connection) and there is a 4 pin power connector on the far side of the board. Will my current Enermax Power supply have the proper connectors and why are there 2 different connectors? I know that I should know this but won't until I ask. Thanks

I'm using that exact same power supply right now with my IS7-E. Its currently OC'ed to 240 FSB with no problems. I can't explain all the technical reasons behind the extra 4-pin power connector, but I believe it provides more stability for the CPU. My other machine with a Soltek SL-75FRN-L Nforce 2 chipset mobo has this extra 4-pin connector present as well. It is not necessary for operation, but does provide for more OCing potential and stability when used.
