Antec TruePower 550 Power Supply
I just ordered the Asus A8N-SLI AMD motherboard.
However, my power supply, the Antec TruePower 550 which has a single 20 pin main power connector. Would it be recommended that I get a 20 pin to 24 pin adaptor? The power supply does not suport SLI. Bottom line, is it recommeded that the Antec TruePower 550 power supply be used with the Asus-SLI AMD motherboard, or just get a new power supply.

Then that's not the "2.0" version, right? You MUST have a SLI-Certified 24 pin unit if you plan on running two cards...depending on what card you are using, you might be able to get away with the adapter just because thats such a powerful and high quality unit (with just one card for the moment).

If the +12 volt rail is rated for 30 amps or higher, you can get away with an adapter with a single video card.
