What kind of power supplies are yall using?

I am going to be using my Epower ZU-550W to power this. It has 40A on the 12V rail, so I think that it should be plenty.

I have the HD2900XT and an overclocked Core2Duo running on a 530Watt Tagan U22 (32A on 12V). Your PSU will be fine. Enjoy your new card :)

40 a is sufficent. with 40a you could probably might be able to pull of something like 2x x1950's in x-fire

just make sure that you arrange for the 8 pin if you plan on ocing the card

Nah, you can OC without it, just not with the catalyst software, which I don't use anyway.
