using 2 psus to supply ecs k7s5a

ecs k7s5a... according to many threads that i've been reading,
is very picky about its power source... more so than dualprocessor mobos.

i have two power supplies that can not provide enough juice to run it stable
when used one at a time. i have been reading articles to see if using both of them
at the same time would satisfy the mobo.

and reading

http://www.speedy3d.com/articles/case_mod_p3/index.shtml

gave me some hope of the possibilities.

but according to the articles... depending on the voltage level that you're looking for (12v, 5v, 3.3v) the reading of the amphere can or cannot satisfy the need. meaning a psu can have a good support to 12v... and at the same time a poor 5v. hence, it negates the whole argument of... 'well i have a 500w psu.... that should be enough, even though it's not AMD certified.'

so... my thought on this is...
would it be possible to add amps to 5v?... to the mobo? wouldn't that stablize my mobo?

and if that is so... wouldn't it be not a bad idea... (given that you have enough space in your case...) to purchase 2 (250w) psu than 1 (450w- or above) psu?

any thoughts?

i'm sure something like this would greatly benefit the k7s5a family. thanx
