The 24 pin is the new ATX standard. They are phasing out the seperate 4pin P4 connector, and making it attached to the standard big 20 pin connector.

Basically unless the CPU needs that power, you can use a 20 pin in the 24 pin hole. But if you are running a P4 EE or something, make sure you use those 4 extra pins.

New boards have the 8 pin seperate which now feeds to the PCIx16 slots I believe to incorporate high powered GPU's.
