cuz it only ultilizes 20-50% cpu during load, which means should i run anything else in the mean time, it wont even affect it the slightest

in most cases after the first load, it becomes instant load too thanks to vista prefetch lol
Added on October 29, 2008, 4:31 pmeletric bills, one of the main factor that would help is a really good psu, that maximizes the energy it can produce from the power socket. atm the standard rate is around 85%++, in simple examples, your house gives 300w, you psu is only able to produce 85% of that 300w, and the 15% = waste.
(thats why i lol at people buying cap ayam, they save capital cost, but they waste a ton in the long run, worse if the thing blows up and drag some pc parts along with it LOL!)
then it would be the actual power consumption of the parts. AFAIK, the new intel wolfdales can run at really retarded voltages, like some 1.1v for stock speed or even lower depending on configuration/proc batch.

if barely enough, just wait a bit, who knows the time you buy you get another price slash with newer series of things coming out... (normal pc trend la LOL)
Added on October 29, 2008, 4:34 pmyou dont say....
some cheap 2k wolfdales can outperform my rig... LOL (i even personally overclocked that said rig and ran some testings myself ROFL)
owned me hard on the clock speeds/bus speeds... like, really hard.
and sits at much cooler temp, and uses 0.5 less volts. i <3 technology advancements /endsarcasm
