A case I may be interested in buying has a 460W psu designed for use with athlon mp board. As I understand it, this means it comes with a 24 pin power connection to the board which is not the standard for xp. Can such a PSU be adapted for use with an athlon xp? Is it as simple as changing the power connection (and is this a simple thing?) I'm a first time builder but the case may be available quite cheaply and I'd like to save $ wherever possible. Thanks. rmb
