can anyone tell me if i can use a 20pin psu with an LGA 775 board? I have managed it with many AMD setups that have not had huge power req's such as running 6200's etc however is this allowed on lga775 boards?
 
is there any actual reason for the 24pin? i mean is it just a fail safe against higher power useage in the future? is it for when the PCI=e slots need large amounts of power from next gen gfx chips? Anyone here know?
