I doubt everyone has a 480+W power supply.

Not everyone will have high watt PSU.
If you PC setup demand it, you better have it.

It doesn't require it. The 2nd molex connector is optional at this
point. Mostly for overclocking or greater stability. It's there to
provide "clean" power. If you have a good 350w or 400 that actually
puts out what it's rated at, then you'll be just fine.

But if you're having troubles running an FX5600U or such with one lead
and 4 drives in your rig, then it might be time to think about a good
quality PSU upgrade. Not something particularly high watt rated (500,
etc), but something that can actuall produce a good clean 400/450w all
the time and not just at peaks.

I was thinking of getting a Radeon 9800 Pro instead... =)

If you want to run this card without burning out your other components, you
do.

Can you guys run UT2004 at maximum settings; at 1280x1024 resolution or
higher; with not less than 75 FPS?

Yes, for the most part.
With everything maxed including physics, and sound options, My average
framerate sits between 80 and 140fps, occasionally it drops a little lower.
This is at 1280 x 1024.

I'm by no means a hardcore unreal player, I just tested it on a random map
using the "quick action" setting. If there's a specific map you'd like me to
check just let me know, I only have the demo version though.
