Actually I got it wrong. It only wants 30 amps, but also
states that I need a minimum 450 watt power supply or
greater.
With Crossfire, it needs 38 amps on the 12 volt rail, and a
550 watt power supply.
It's an ATI Radeon Sapphire X1950 Pro card, and all a really
wanted it for was to produce decent screen shots. Now I've
got to go buy another PC.

BTW, have you ever known a video card which needs 45 amps on
the 12 volt rail - AND a connection to the power supply?
OUCH!

George,
That sucks!
Can you re-format and start over? I'm presuming it didn't
fry the board?
I'm holding off untill SP1. Apps and drivers simply aren't
ready, and only=3D20
then am I upgrading because I'll have to support it at work,
so i'd like to=3D20 brush up at home first.

Cross posted, so apologies if you see multiple copies.
Just in case anyone is thinking of upgrading their system to
VISTA, beware of making the same mistake I have. (Even if,
to you, it is a fairly new system!!)
I'd been in the Vista Beta program almost since day one. At
that time my Fujitsu Pentium PIV, 2.66GHz was barely a year
old, and one of their "current" top end models.
All through the beta, and right up to and including the
current updated release, everything has been fine with Vista
Ultimate, except for the nVidea video card. That was the one
and only warning I got from even the latest version of the
Vista Upgrade Advisor.
And so I was delighted to get a gift of a new ATI card,
fully Vista compliant with a nice 512 MB in it.
But oh dear! The system saw the new card, but when the
system re-booted, it died.
Having spent a major part of yesterday trying to get this
super new AGP card installed, it turns out that the Fujitsu
Siemens motherboard in my PC does not officially support
Vista. Consequently ATI dropped the support case like a hot
brick. Fujitsu themselves don't want to know, as they say
the Scenic Series was discontinued before Vista was released
to Joe Public.
Little wonder DELL are re-introducing a range of systems
with XP installed!
