Re: PSU and the 256MB 1950XT
card manufacturer?
The ATI card X1950Pro (can't find your exact model), require a 450WPSU with 30Amp on 12V rail.

Re: PSU and the 256MB 1950XT
Yeah, even with a 450W PSU (as specified). You still will be cutting it close. Thats why it is imperative when building a new rig, make sure to spend a little more on a good and powerful PSU to avoid having to buy a new one as you upgrade your system.

Re: PSU and the 256MB 1950XT
The one in your link only had 29A (v1&v2 combined), not sure if it will cut it, or I could be reading it wrong.
