An apparatus for regulating voltage and power in a computer system is disclosed. The voltage and power regulation is performed by voltage regulation circuitry on a voltage regulator module. The voltage regulator module is a detachable unit which interfaces with the motherboard through a socket connector. The socket connector has a fixed pin definition which allows a variety of voltage regulator modules programmed to regulate voltages and power at different levels to be implemented on the motherboard.
