I really don't want to hear how many 'watts' are recommended for the 7800GT. I'd like to hear who has a 7800GT and how few Amps it'll run on. I have 19A on my 12V rail and am wondering if it's enough. I have a single HDD, a single DVD Burner, Athlon 3000+ Venice... 2x512mb of ram.

I'm quite sure the recomended on nvidia's site is 24amps for it, and 32 for SLI. You may get away with it as the 19amps is on a single rail.

Edit: I got my box here and it says 26amps, but it is pre overclocked.

(I got dust all over me and I wasn't first. :( :p)
 
I would say 24 is MINIMUM!

Keep in mind that all of your hard drives, cd drives, and fans use that 12 volt as well, so if you have those in there too you need those on.

Not to mention that it is fluctiating, so you would rather be safe with more then sorry with less right?

I'm running dual 18A lines.
