I have just purchased an x1950pro 512mb AGP and have had to learn about PSU's in a hurry because i need to buy a new one to run this card..
If a psu has 2 x 12v lines does 1 12v line just go to the cpu and mobo while the other is for everything like hdd's gfx cards and optical drives??
eg- this card says it requires a 30a+ psu to run corrctly, but if say i had a psu with 18a & 18a on 2 seperate lines doe3s that mean really 1 x 18a is powering the gfx card and hdds dvd etc while the other is for cpu, in which case id need a bigger psu?
thanks
