I am building a Socket A PC and have an eye on my power consuption. I've got an XP 2000 which will use 70watts on the 5v rail, one IDE HDD, one IDE DVD drive, one 120mm fan. My PSU can do 35amps on the 5v rail = 175watts (lets be safe and call it 130?)
I want to put a FX5900 XT in the system. This has a Molex power connector for additional power. How much power will this card pull, and what rail will it come from as I think molex can deliver both 5 and 3.3v? How much power does the AGP slot provide (and from what rail?)
Thanks
