    They are not used in all systems. Those are only for on P4 motherboards.

    Don't worry about it. Nothing's wrong.

    Think of them as a extra added bonus.

    actually that smaller square plug does plug into some AMD-based motherboards. i guess some of them just need the extra juice.

    It's not so much that they need extra juice, rather they have a separate regulated power supply just for the CPU.

    Seems like a nice touch.

    My Asus doesn't have it...
