I build about that myself, plus service 1200 users.
Those 8800s have problems more than just
power requirements. Sounds to me like they
need "faster" local on-card power ... something
like a whopping big electrolytic right by the
ICs on the card. And that won't work. I'm also
seeing driver problems with the one I tested.
Called nVidia, and they said they spent too
much time developing Vista drivers for that
card ... and need to go back and work on the
XP drivers. I'm seeing that the 7950 GT OC
is the top XP card. An 8800 can't touch one
for speed and stability.
