It seems the new Radeon 9700 will require an external power source as the requirements of the GPU exceed what AGP 2.0 can handle.

hmm, dunno if i like the idea of it needing tons of power, might just be me thinking back to the days when 3dfx couldnt inovate enough to create efficient gfx cards.
Tho the r300 will still be beasty.
