what spec is it? modern systems want ATX12V v2.x, which puts almost
all the power on the +12V rail. older PSU specs had more juice on the
5V side, which is almost unused nowdays. An ATX12V V1.x supply /can/
be used on a newer system, if you treat it as a smaller PSU (drawing
say, no more than 350 watts from a 500W ATX12V v1.x)
