Anyone know about vice-versa?  I have a 667 DVI and my second (first 
was replaced in warranty) power adapter crapped out, so I grabbed a new 
one Friday night with Panther.  It's a 65W, three-prong.  Seems to work 
fine on my Ti with no noticeable difference in charge time or battery 
life.  I have also used the old, two-prong A/C cable with the new, 
grounded white box and that seems to work fine as well.  My reasoning 
was that the little two-prong "nub" was not grounded so an ungrounded 
A/C cable would work similarly.   Besides, my old adapter wasn't 
grounded at all (granted, it was only 45W though).
