If you look at the load pictures at THG
and tech report
you'll see that it IS possible to build a system which has enough spare WATTage to power the 6800U.
it all depends on your other hardware. if you install I865+2.4c and this vidcard I think you can get away with a quality 300Watt.
I asked someone @ Digit-Life who's testing a 6800U to try the card out on a lower powered system just "for the fun of it" like the link you gave. those tests are really usefull, that way people will not go out foolishly upgrading their PSU when maybe it is not needed
