So, I have a 750w PC Power & Cooling PSU.

Currently it is running a modest system.

C2D E8400
4GB DDR2
320GB HDD
GTX 285

Now I find myself with a 2nd GTX 285. Question is, could this PSU handle the 2nd one?

How old is the power supply? It certainly SHOULD be able to manage 2-GTX285 video cards...SHOULD.
nVidia says the maximum card power requirement is 204 watts...by the time you allow for all your other components, you're starting to push the PSU...but not too hard.
