well i got the PNY 6800gt and it is on its way (yehaaaaa) i am soooo happy, but i am wondering about my psu, right now i have a premier psu with 15 a on the 12 rail. i also have 2 40 gig HD and 2 dkd burners and 2 fans that came with the case, whatcha think is that enough power?

Well if your computer is starting up then yes, you have enough power.

Games may become a bit unstable. My 380w Truepower is one of the new 24A 12V rails, a 18A would be questionable but pretty good. 15A may be pushing it. Just try it out, you're not gonna hurt anything, if anything the game may run a little unstable, if so buy a new 380w ro 430w Antec.

Dammit.....I'm wondering what the limit of my Aria 300W is. This is a limiting case. 🙂

Get the card, run it with your PSU... If the system becomes unstable when you play games, try a more powerful PSU. Basically, don't worry about it unless it becomes an issue, you can always buy a PSU...
