I'm just getting caught up with the various new hardware standards that
have come online in the last 2 years, and I have two questions:
1) Why the separate 4-pin power connection on the mb in addition to the
24-pin connector?
2) The case (Antec SLK2650-BQE) also has a 6-pin power connector labeled
PCI-E. I'm not using any PCI-E cards at the moment (the mb does have the
slots), and I don't see anywhere on the mb (ECS-A939) for this plug. Is
this a connector that some mb's use, or does it plug into a PCI-E card
itself? I don't think that is likely, but what do I know at this point...
