That connector was added around the time that Intel introduced the Pentium 4 processor. An onboard Vcore switching regulator, converts the 12V into 1.5V (for a P4) or less voltage, for operating the processor. That is what it would be for. http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/12v4pin.jpg If a person has a really old power supply, they can get an adapter cable, to go from a couple Molex to the 2x2 square connector. This particular one, has only one Molex 1x4 to draw power from (connector on the right), and I wouldn't use this if the processor draws a major amount of power. http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/12v4pinadapter.jpg So I don't know if that is the kind of cable you're referencing or not. If you need pictures to aid in the description, you can use photos linked from this page. http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html Paul
