VIdeo card/PSU question

[xomegax]

Ok, so I have a p4 2.8 northwood, 2gb dual on an IC7-MAX3 running with a Sapphire 3850 AGP and I have an antect smart power 2.0 400w PSU and everything is running great. My question is that if it is really necessary to get a bigger PSU, atm I don't really have any money to upgrade it? So, everything runs fine and it all stays cool, do I loose performance because of the smaller PSU? Thanks for the help!

You answered your own question. Perfomance is not dicated by a weak power supply. A weak or underpowered supply will be shown as instability and frequent crashes under load. It does not sound like this is the situation for you.

To put it simply, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
