That's how ammeters work - you put them in series with the load. A multimeter in current mode typically has a resistance well below 1 ohm.

BTW fan draw - the fan off my XFX 6800GT read 155mA at 12V, so 1.86W.

Also Tempus, please don't use PCI-X for PCI-express; PCI-X is a separate standard and can cause confusion when used interchangably with PCI-express.
