PLUG YOUR PC INTO YOUR KILL-A-WATT AND FIND OUT HOW MUCH POWER IT
REALLY USES, unless you were lying about having one...

I read someone say that their power usage goes way up when maxing out
their video card, but that seems odd given the fact that my Intel Quad
Core Q9550 package dissapates a maximum of 95 watts and uses a
heatsink/fan much larger than my GeForce 7950GT/512 uses.

Apparently, every working technician should have one (or similar), but
I do not yet.
