idle power usage of the 8800GTS/GTX?

According to Nvidia, at peak usage, the 8800 GTX draws about 180W. At normal, heavy use (during gameplay, for example) power draw is about 145W. Idle power is well down in the range of the 7900 GTX's idle power draw.
 
Sorry to butt in but how does it compare to the X1900xt power draw as have presently a 520w OCZ modstream powering a [email protected], x1900xt and 5 h/drives and am wondering if I need to change PSU when upgrade to a 8800gtx (or the new ATI card).

Thanks.
