24 pin PSU? Need new mobo

[PaulWuzHere]

Hello, I have an agp board right now. I want to move to pci-x. I also have a nice 20 pin psu. Almost all the pci-x mobos I have found are 24pin. ARe there and adapters or something out there I could use?

Yes there are.

If you Google for 20 to 24 pin psu adapters, you should find plenty. Typically, they only cost a few dollars.

Regards Howard

yes, yes, here's an example

before you go ahead and buy one though, you need to be sure that your PSU can handle a PCI-E setup

26 amps on the 12 volt and 550 watt should be fine

yes, that will be more than enough power as long as it's a quality, reputible brand.
