Is my PSU all right?

Just wondering if these voltage values were "within tolerances" or if I should consider buying a new PSU. It's currently an Antec 400W SmartPower that came with my case, and has basically been on 24/7 since summer 2002. I'm running a Prime95 test atm, and the voltage #s look a little worse than they do usually. This is from ASUS PC Probe:

+12V: 12.416
+5V: 4.73
+3.3V: 3.264
Vcore: 1.824 (set in BIOS to 1.8V)

When I'm not running Prime, +12V is around 12.2 and +5V is around 4.85.

Should I be thinking about getting a new PSU? Thanks.
 
Get a multimeter for $20 or so and take measurements again. Software is rarely any good at determining power supply voltage.
