    quad rails (600 w fsp) and x1900xt(x)

    According to the x1900xt(x) documentation it requires 30 amps. The fsp 600w can support 30amps but not 30amps on a single rail? How does this power supply drive video cards such as x1900xt? (do they take two connectors?)

    The X1900XT doesn't require the 30A all for itself but the 30A is a suggestion for the system power requirement.
    18A per PCI-E cable (there are 2) is fine for an X1900XT.

    Oh. I guess that make sense. For some reason I thught they were suggesting 30 amp for the video card itself. Hummm now what to get the x1800xt, the x1900xt or the 7900gt. Hum.... Hey you have i should pm you since you have the 7800 and x1900xt.
