Dunno if this applies to your mobo too, but the manual for mine (ASUS P5N32-SLI) says:-
Power On by PCI Devices:
"When set to [Enabled], this parameter allows you to turn on the system through a PCI LAN or modem card. This feature requires an ATX power supply that provides at least 1A on the +5VSB lead."
The bit about current on the +5VSB being the bit I'm wondering about.
