I've been unable to get this new graphics card to work properly. It's

items). I finally spoke with Bob at OHS, and he says the kernel panics
are due to the power supply being inadequate for the new card.
The 5200 only uses 10 watts at idle and 24.6 watts total at 100%. I
don't know how many watts the OEM Rage Pro card uses, but it couldn't
be significantly less, so it seems highly unlikely that power is the
issue with your panics, especially when the card identifies itself
incorrectly in System Profiler.
