well, ATX 1.x stuff had more 5V and less 12V, while ATX 2.x boosts the 12V output capacity and has less 5V... I'm pretty sure even a AGP/PCI P4 is ATX 2.0, but I suppose I could be wrong. We're stirring some mighty old neurons here. I ejunked all my P4's some time ago.
ok, I googled it, the manual for your motherboard says "ATX12V", which is close enough the 2.x spec that it should work. I do see a suggestion that you use a somewhat higher 'wattage' ATX12V 2.x PSU to compensate for the differences.
btw, here's the technical product manual for your mainboard http://downloadmirror.intel.com/15207/eng/D865GBF_D865GLC_ProductGuide02_Eng...
That is where I got the 20-pin ATX stuff. It just occured to me that I might want geometric as well as electrical compatibility.
