I wouldn't think it would be enough to overload a power supply unless it overloaded the -12V > line which is usually only rated in the mils. What is the average 12V rating? 5-8 amps? and even more for 5V? I forget what the > average -5V line is rated. I don't remember which one it is. The -12v sounds likely. It was the one in the milliamp range. The NICs came with a warning that the typical AT power supplies were insufficient. I haven't bought one in a box for quite a while and that was where I saw the warning.
