My PC with GeForce GTX240 requires a 1,000W power supply. Such is life.


Hmm. My system has an 850W PSU and I'm using a GTX275. What else do you have in there?

When I built the system I bought the power supply based on the recommendation of the gfx card manufacturer. It listed 1,000W as requirement.


Wow, mine is listed as 550W as the minimum; the card itself can draw up to 220W, figures which basically match nVidia's reference implementation:

Hmm... finding this thread a wee bit confusing... :(

It's posted under "Amiga Hardware Issues & Discusions" but it mainly seems to be about MorphOS running on Macs, I admit I know very little about MorphOS but I'm kinda confused about where the Amiga fits into all of this or has A.org been taken over by a Mac forum... :)


You must know by now that MorphOS is a PPC AmigaOS compatible OS that runs on PPC macs...

I bet no OS4 user has ever sold their old system or bought a 2nd hand system. I mean everyone just trash their old AmigaOnes and SAMs, since they're obviously worthless... as they're no longer new..


I realise this was meant as a sarcastic response, but my A1 is second hand. One careful previous owner, another amiga.org long time member with a passion for gadgetry ;)
