Welp, just tried the card. it booted up with the system. Winxp wouldnt recognize the card, even though i got generic vga drivers so i could see the desktop.
I had the molex connector plugged to it, nothing else on the line.
turned pc off, and back on to do a driver install(after the nvidia drivers couldnt detect the card), and after being on some seconds, it trips the power supply.
So after some testing, if I dont plug the molex connector in , the system boots but no video. When I connect the molex, the power supply trips when I turn it on.
Its not the PS. It's a Coolmaster 450watt, with about 30 amps kicking. I even pulled the hd and cd rom connector and tried, still triped.
Im RMA'in it back to tigerdirect This is disappointing.
UPDATE: Ordered a FX 5900XT in hope that my power supply will run it. I have 17amp's on the 12volt side, hopefully that will do
