here is a link of a board that has one, its 3/4 of the way up next to the housing of the processor above the silver heatsink.

That's for a connector from the PSU which carries 12v power to the motherboard. It was originally designed for Pentium 4 boards, but now a lot of nForce 2 Socket A boards are carrying them.

Every recent PSU I've seen has had one.

Okay thanks, that helped a lot

Not a prob.

I never actually built a newer amd machine, do they not utilize the 12v connector. I would assume that they would.
