Yep, as long as it has a ATX connector in shouldn't be a problem.

yeah. It just means the PSU is P4 certified, i.e.it has that other 12v connector or whatever it is.

So, yes you can use it with an athlon.

my enermax has billions of connectors, and it runs great on my system

The P4 motherboards are expected to increasingly use more onboard DC-DC converter powered from the 12 volts line. Besides the 12 volts and accessory connectors, the P4 supply typically has higher amperage spec on the 12 volts line. This will be beneficial to the AMD Athlon motherboards too.
