Hi,
>... am I missing something...?
20w with one monitor, for sure.
The specs : VGA + HDMI + DVI
HDMI monitor must be HD.
For the power, have a look to this review. I understand that the whole
system drew 124w idle and 133w in gaming.load and running a i7-920.
( one monitor I guess ?)

Don't forget to use a great power supply to use three monitors.

If you can't drive three monitors with one graphic card, you need a PCIe
dual slot MB.
Years ago I drove 4 CRT monitors with four basic graphics cards into PCI
slots under Win98me. Then the AGP bus came and most of the MB were with
one graphic slot.
These comments to draw your attention to supply power.
Best regards

Thanks. That looks like a great card for traders not looking for
gaming or 3D performance.
Also it has EyeFinity support so I guess I could run three monitors
off the one card...??
Running 3 monitors off one sub $100 card at 20w seems a little
unbelievable to me... am I missing something...?
(p.s. I am currently using an Nvidia 8800GT which is probably a little
out of date now... is the HD 5450 better than that...?)
