Do you have any links to more info?
why is it you think this form is what the industry is headed towards?
Am I wrong, or is an adaptor all thats needed to turn a standard ATX into EPS ready?...

I got my info mainly from posts over at [H]ardforum and OC Forums. A quick look through my Outlook Express mailbox:

And one from here:
AMD 64 vs PCI Express

I also got this information from various articles, but I can't find them except for these:

And yes, all you need is an adaptor. But EPS power supplies tend to be beefier, so the ATX power supply you're adapting into a 24-pin connector might not be strong enough for whatever you're trying to power.
