Do I have to plug in the second 4 pin power cable so my upgraded Pentium 4 HT 3.2 GHz will work?

I just bought the Pentium 4 HT 3.2 GHz for my second pc. My mother board has two 4 pin power slots but only one is in use for my current Pentium 4 2.0 GHz. My question is if i have to use the second 4 pin slot so the new processor will work?

It would depend on the model of your motherboard. It's likely there is a label in extremely tiny print on/near that empty 4 pin to say what it does.

Are you 100% sure your new CPU is actually compatible with your motherboard?

the cpu has the same socket as my current one, its a Socket 478. the 4 pin plug thats empty says 12v.

Well it would depend on the motherboard model. The extra plug may be to provide the extra power to your CPU.
