Lack of Power?

[Mason64]

hey

I have a old pc which i think is overloaded with USB devices.

Whats the best thing to do.

When i put some more usb stuff in it comes up with a error about power. Would it be better to get a bigger psu as its only 300 or should i just get a USB 2 card for the PCI slot.

What you think is best to do?

The issue isn't the PSU. It's the USB ports. If I recall they have a limit of 500ma? (don't shoot me if that's wildly wrong - the point is they have a power limit). So the solution is either a PCI USB card, or a powered USB hub.
