What brand/watt psu are you running. Are you thinking about upgrading? The reason I ask is because I had a generic 300w psu that came with my case and thought that maybe I could get a little more out of my system by upgrading to an Enermax 431w psu and well I couldnt. This was when I was still a newbe with the o/c'in thing. I purchased the Enermax 431w psu and it did nothing for me. Dont get me wrong it is an excellent quality psu. I thouht that my T-Bird 1200@1400, GeForce 2 Ultra 330/515, 2-30g IBM 7,200 H/Ds, CD Writer, 52x CD Rom, 2-120mm YS-Tech 131cfm fans, 4-92mm Sunon fans, and FOP38 may have been over working my generic 300w psu. Well I guess I was wrong. I didnt have any stability problems or crashes with the 300w psu. I just wanted to see if I could o/c my rig a little more with the Enermax 431w psu. I am sure the Enermax will last longer then the generic 300w psu would have, but thats about the only advantage to having it. If you are thinking of upgrading to a larger psu for the same reason that I did then you might want to think twice about it. You might be better off spending that money on something else to improve your system. This is just my opinion.
