No.

Yes, 4 pin by CPU - providing VCORE for CPU is what the manual said. The MB 
has an 8x speed AGP and 2x PCI slots, nor PCIe.

Thanks, looks like I found a source (kinda) locally - microcenter.com has a 
store in my area, and the 4 pin drive conector to ATX 4 pin connector appears 
to be about $2 (but $3 in tolls to and from the store, plus milage)... I'll 
probably pick up a couple tomorrow.

Thanks,

Lionel
