I have a Foxconn 865 G7MF motherboard, and on it is something called SPDIF OUT. It's a connector, like the ones that you use to hook up the USB ports and etc. It's four blocks long, and has three pins.. What is it for?

SPDIF is a standard for digital audio, either over a copper cable with an RCA connector, or over an optical connection (TOSLINK). You can use that port to connect your sound card to a receiver or amplifier that accepts digital connections, which will give you better sound quality than using a regular RCA cable. You'll also need to use this connector for 5.1 surround sound if your motherboard's sound chip supports it.
