Does anyone know what the combined sustained amps on the 12v rails for this psu? http://www.mushkin.com/doc/products/power_supply/hp-550.asp
I just ordered a new PSU and a X1950 Pro 512MB for my AGP system. At the time I thought the PSU would be enough since it has two 12v rails with 20 amps. But after reading some threads I realized that this video card draws quite a bit of power. So I am beginning to think I jumped the gun on the PSU and it may not be enough. According to Sapphire they recommend a minimum of 30 amps sustained on the 12v rail.
 
COmbined is 28A. It is a Topower built unit. In general Topower quality is middle of the road.
 
Probably not ;)

Yeah my system isn't loaded.

ASUS P4S533
P4 2.8ghz // 533mhz fsb
Creative Audigy Gamer
Sapphire X1950PRO 512mb**
2GB PC2700 RAM (x2 1 GIG modules)
IDE 160gig HD
IDE 120gig HD
DVD-Rom drive
DVD-Burner
x2 case fans

I would be running this on that power supply.
