Any meaningful reply would be pure guesswork unless you post the specs
regarding your computer (if a proprietary model), power supply (brand,
rating), mainboard, brand of card, and other relevant details such as what
exactly is happening to your X1900XT cards that is causing you to replace
them.
Otherwise your question is like "My Chevy broke down. What's wrong?"

Asus N2N32-sli Deluxe
OCZ MOD Stream 600W output is fine
ATI X1900XT 512M
2G OCZ DDR2
AMD M2
Vista 64 bit

Both cards just scramble the screen (had the card test on another system does the same thing)

You are now on your third card and it's working OK so far? The first one was
new when bought, then ran OK for a while as a single (non-SLI) card, died,
and then you RMA'd it, got a second from ATI, the same thing happened, you
RMA'd that one as well, and now you've got a third one still functioning
right now. Is that right? How long did the previous cards last before they
gave issues? Or were they non-functional out of the box? This all assumes,
no insult intended, that you know how to properly install and connect the
aux power, etc.

So the same problem occurred on both of your previous two X1900s?

Does the scrambling happen at boot, or during intense activity (game)?

At what point did the symptoms develop, a month of use, 3 months, a year?

Have you tried the other DVI port? Using the DVI-VGA adapter?

Are you overclocking the motherboard FSB/HT? Increasing the chipset or DIMM
voltage?

I've got a 1900 256M version and it will have bits and pieces of the
screen go bad at random.
