I have an Antec 480 True Power PS. It has both the power plugs for SATA drives, Will the work with on the newer NF4 mother boards? Say a DFI LAnparty ultra D.

You will be fine. I am not sure for a full blown SLI setup though. You would probably want a little more juice for SLI, but for a single graphics card system, you've got plenty.

Great but My PS does not have a 20 pin connector it is a 22 Pin. I'm tring to figure if the DFi board needs or requires the 24 pin variety.

Just corrected the pin count on my PS.

you mean 20 pin not 22, right? I ran my ultra-d with a winchester 3000, 1gb ram, 6800gt, and two HD's (I believe it was two, not positive on that) on an Antec TruePower 330w (20pin) while my OCZ Powerstream was being RMA'd. It was 100% stable.

Hmmm, I just checked and it is 20 pin. Dfi needs 24 pin connector. Did you use an adapter or did your board use a 20 pin like my PS uses?

DFI says it requires a 24 pin, but you can run it with a 20, as long as it is a high quality one. I didnt' use an adapter, they are supposed to cause lots of problems.
