Meanwhile, at the uk.comp.os.linux Job Justification Hearings, chris chose
the tried and tested strategy of:

Isn't it because the wattage is the total over all the 'rails', but the
individual limits on each rail are much lower. Good PSUs will deliver
decent wattages over all the rails, whereas poor ones will skew the
individual wattages to give the 'best' overall wattage.

These http://www.playtool.com/pages/psucompat/compat.html eight pages are
everything you ever wanted to know about PSUs, but were afraid to ask. The
page with photos of connectors on is especially useful.
