This is a older system. It has those wide connectors. It's a Abit nf7 V 2.0 mobo. No "S" or "M" in the model. This link has a picture of my mobo. http://www.cyfinity.com/tag/watts/ That is not my system, just a pic of the same mobo. I found it with google and just picked it at random. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
