As any PC enthusiast will be well aware, the new ATI/AMD Radeon HD 4870 X2 video card has been released to a plethora of rave reviews all praising it's phenominal performance in most games. However, this does come at a bit of a price and people should be made aware of these prices if they are considering purchasing this behemoth.
Firstly, the card is power hungry. AMD/ATI list a minimum of a 650 watt PSU to power this beast. I would recommend reading my Power Supply guide if you haven't already with regards to power requirements. This card is the most demanding in terms of power requirements by some margin. The performance of this monster needs to come from somewhere after all.
The second is one that may not be so obvious. Most people are using 32-bit Operating Systems, such as Windows XP Home or Professional
