Hello.

I've recently purchased another card for SLI and i'm not sure if I might need another PSU for the future or if mine can do it.

AMD Athlon 3700+
| Asus A8N-SLI Premium
| CorsairValuesect 2 X 512 PC3200
| 2 X MSI NX6800 SLI
| Xcilio 450W PSU
| WD 250 gig 16mb cache 3.0GB HDD

I'd like to add 2 more sticks of 512 and a WD raptor. Can my PSU hold up?
 
well i dont think this psu is SLI certified, does it have the 2 PCI-E connector, its a 6pin connector, wich is normally black, Eventought i would stay away from that. why dont you sell this 6800 and get a 7800GT for less?

Well I paid 230 for both cards...but I am considering selling them. But I was more concerned with my PSU failing for now.
 
The PSU isn't SLI-certified, meaning you don't get two 6-pin PCI-E power connections. You can use an adapter, but I'd think you'd be cutting it very close.
 
Ah. Definitely plug in the 4-pin molex that is on the motherboard. Asus calls it EZPlug.
