Comment on Should I change my PSU? by Stalin

I like your computer. The power is just fine ; I wouldn’t do anything but a pair of HP 22" monitors in white and stay fashionable. Your desire for the corsair 400w PSU fits in your budget, go for it. It is your internet connection that matters. The power thing is for the gaming cards out their. Like the GTX 295 uses 155watts. So you over power for no real reason. Though a proper power supply for a single 600" stadium television is 1100watts. Good luck !

You’re really pushing it with a cheap 380W Simbadda PSU, which is very likely to be poor quality and deliver less than rated power.

You’d probably want a 550W Corsair, which can be had for around $90.

Asus recommends a minimum 400 watt power supply for that motherboard. The ATI 4600 series video cards also have a 400 watt recommended power supply requirement.

11.63 volts under load is not normal. This can be expected since your current power supply doesn’t meet the minimum requirements. A good value for +12 volts is +12 volts.

With all you are running, and with the fact that you want to add more drives.

550 watts or more…no less than 550….600-700 would be a little better.

That power output is normal for the +12v rail. It really sounds like 400 watts might not be enough if you add 2 more hard drives. I usually say 400 watts is the minimum. Your’s isn’t shy of that. If you want to be on the safe side, you could get a 500 watt power supply, but if it is working now, I don’t see the point. If it stops working, perhaps then you can change it : P.

i would have chosen this one myself http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006
as it manages the balancing itself and is plenty powerful for your needs and future upgrades.

Ouch, you definitely need a new PSU. I would go with a 500w 80 plus certified to be on the safe side.
If it’s not 80 plus certified, you only end up being able to use 30-40% of the power capability. So, using a regular 400w will be underpowering your system pretty severely.
With the 500w, you’re ready to go for future upgrades. Even a 600w may be preferable. I’m getting ready to buy a new one, and have chosen a 630w. I have a similar system to yours.

Comment on Home Networking? by teraflop

On the laptop, try Internet Options -> Connections from your IE menu and try changes there to force IE/Windows to attempt to read proxy & Internet settings. Change the changes back to original settings after you’re done.

Also, try going to commandline (type "cmd" at Start-Run) and try to ping servers, you should see the resultant path bounce through your XP desktop.

Final (and absolute) recommendation: Invest $50 in a router such as a Linksys router. Using ICS (Internet Connection Sharing, the old name for Windows XP Home networking) under any Windows product, especially if you’re trading using this setup, is asking for trouble.
