Eps12v - 975X based boards

What's the deal about the EPS12V standard for 975x boards? Will I be fine with the old PSU? The new connector has 8 pins I guess. Could anyone elighten me on the issue?

Most motherboards will run OK with a regular ATX PSU (or with the adaptor cable), although there are some that will refuse to boot at all.

Either way, in virtually all cases mobo manufacturers strongly recommend that you use a proper EPS12 compliant PSU, and there's no way to guarantee stability without it. If you're buying a new board/PSU, I'd either get an EPS12 compliant PSU, or stick with a regular ATX mobo.
 
Wooow.... Here's a hefty 1000w model supply that handle a number of things!
