Hey guys, I just need to know if my PSU will handle a 1950XT 512mb card. Their price is very low now, and good performance, and you can run Fold@Home on it. Its 16Amps of a dual rail PSU.

My PC is a:
3800+ Orleans
1GB DDR2 800
1 Sata Drive

My PSU is here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Show [...] y+-+Retail

Thanks guys.

Thanks guys. Also, I wont be overclocking, but what is the best 3-rd party cooler for 1950XT? I was looking at the ARCTIC COOLING Accelero X2, and the ARCTIC COOLING Accelero S1. Which is the better buy? I could get the S1 and the "turbo Module" o stick some fans on it myself to do better. The Acelero X2 blows the hot air back into the case, thats weird too.
