X1900XTX PSU Hookup- future upgrade

How do you get the recommended 30A on 12V rail power to your vidcard? I just installed an Antec SP500w with 17 and 19amps on 2 12V rails. Is there some kind of reverse power splitter that combines both? How dangerous is using a combined 36amps of power on a card with a 30amp recommendation?

You don't need +12V@30A for the GPU,
that is for your entire system, just plug everything where it best fits & you will be fine.

I need to be more educated about these things. This is good news. Thanks!
