My concern was this:

That if I take the 6500703 that my front USB and Firewire will no longer
function as you read the H Auxiliary Power Connector.

Thanks,
Ron

On the 6500583 it says: The P10 power connector is a 6-pin auxiliary
power connector that also connects only to motherboards that support
Pentium IV. It plugs next to the P1 power connector to form an L-shape
on the motherboard.

H - Auxiliary Power Connector

The six-pin connector on the left is the motherboard auxiliary power
connector. This auxiliary power connector accepts a power lead from the
power supply. This auxiliary power connector supplies additional current
for the front panel USB and is required for proper operation of the
motherboard.

The motherboard has more than one power connector because federal
regulation allows a set level of current through each wire. If more
current is needed, more terminals are required, hence this auxiliary
power connector.

Note: When reseating any components or working inside the case, unplug
the power cord and wait for the green light to turn off (10 seconds
maximum). There is more available current supplied to this motherboard
than others. Failure to unplug the power cord will cause shorts and hot
spots on the motherboard and the component you were working with.

On the 6500703 is says: The P9 power connector is a 4-pin auxiliary
power connector that connects only to motherboards that support Pentium IV.

The P1 power connector that leads from the computer's power supply plugs
into the power supply connection on the motherboard. Although Pin 1 is
marked on the motherboard, match the clip on the connector to the notch
on the motherboard power supply connection. The clip is on the backside
of the connector. On the graphic, click the hyperlink for more information.

B - Auxiliary ATX Power

This is a closer view of the ATX auxiliary power on the motherboard.
This 2 × 2 power connector accepts a power lead from the power supply.
This auxiliary power connector supplies additional 12-volt service for
the processor and is required for proper operation of the motherboard.
The clip on the ATX power connector faces toward the front of the
motherboard.

The motherboard has more than one power connector because federal
regulation allows a set level of current through each wire. If more
current is needed, more terminals are required, hence this auxiliary
power connector.

Note: When reseating any components or working inside the case, unplug
the power cord and wait for the green light to turn off (10 seconds
maximum). There is more available current supplied to this motherboard
than others. Failure to unplug the power cord will cause shorts and hot
spots on the motherboard and the component you were working with.

Hardly any computer parts get remnaufactured these days. A used power supply is
OK though if it has been tested and then cleaned out of all the dust and dirt
inside. That's the extent of refurbishment: test and clean... Ben Myers

It will work fine. It is just a newer revision of the same power supply.
Your original one is Revision 2, the 6500703 is revision 4. The early ones
are notorious for failed fans. It has the same ratings (250W). It is
unlikely that they even have any of the old ones anyway. If they do, they
will definitly be used, though the other one is likely a reman anyway.

I need some feedback on power supplies. Gateway has sent me 2 power
supplies 6500703, but the power supply in my system is 6500583. They say it
will work but when I talk to the tech support people that say I really do
need the 6500583. I had a lot of work done on it at the Country Store to
get is the way I want it and that is why the Country Store said it was a
good thing that I got that power supply because of what I have configured
in my system.
