Ohh funny that my AXP system which use to have a Antec TP 480w couldn't handle the overclock anymore. I wonder why

If you refuse to consider aging, then you are a fool
Did I say I was ignoring aging? No. I was just saying that there's no need to make as much of a point of it as you seem to suggest.

As for the AXP overclock, can you prove it was the PSU at fault? Possibility it could have been the mobo, or CPU? How can you be sure? And also, I think you're kidding yourself if you think the TP 480w was anything other than a 'budget' PSU in the first place.

Back on subject, I really don't think that the power consumption of the 2900XT is gonna as shocking as is being made out. And, if it's because of the extra stress DX10 puts on the card, I wouldn't be surprised if the 8800GTX's power consumption goes up a bit as well with the DX10 usage.

Final point, I want independant benches!!
