The 200W PS in my SS51G could handle a Nvidia 5600U (req ext power) and the
Radeon 9600XT. But if I tried a Radeon 9700 or 9800 it just would work
right. I had to remove memory, stop overclocking (P4 2.2 at 2.6), swap
around cables, disable my floppy and optical drives, etc. to make them work.
Shuttle claims to have done a 24 burn in with a 9800Pro and P4 3.0GHz but I
don't know how they did it. Maybe my PS is just not up to par. I'd need to
upgrade to the 250 or 300 to run a faster video card.
