Thanks for your replies. By the way, I know that a new PSU isn't going to give me a performance boost, it's just that I'm afraid that my cheap generic PSU might burn my hardware in the long run. So I searched around a bit, and I think I'm going to buy this:

2x Kingston ValueRam Dual Channel 1024 MB PC4300 667 MHz, 5 cas, non-ecc
Antec 450 Watt SmartPower v2.0 PSU

I looked inside my computer and found out that I don't have 1,5 GB Elixir RAM, but 1 GB Kingston RAM (not dual-channel I think) and 512 MB Elixir RAM. My question is, if I plug in those 2 GB dual channel RAM, can I ALSO plug in my current RAM, so it makes 3,5 GB, or is this unwise? I think I saw 2 slots next to the 2 slots where my RAM is, so I guess it's possible to have 4 slots for RAM? I'm sorry for the n00bish questions, I'm just learning all these things. Thanks!
