You've got a few in your computer, Lee.
 
Apparently they ARE Berg connectors or even mini-molex (heard them called BIRD).

Here is a page on common computer connectors

I have no idea what those black tabs are called. The one you showed is often found as an audio connection or for something with three wires and a common ground with the second terminal empty to break the connection if inserted backwards (the outsides are ground/neutral? and negative and there is no pin on the board where the corresponding empty connector is so that B+ will never get sent to any pin except B+

For audio they should be -++- or +--+ so that the only error you'll have is L and R reversed.

At least that's what I think.

Doesn't look like a proper Berg connector- those (Bergs) are usually used for floppy drive power connectors.

The one Lee has a picture of is the original Berg stick style connector. Rectangular connector system. Introduced in the 1970s and made the shunt jumper famous.

Many variants formed later on from that standard.
 
I remember the first time I saw a Molex connector in a Sony mini-console from the early-mid 1970s I was scratching my head thinking why is there an IDE power connector in there?
