Basically they're there to make extra money from the people who either don't know how to or don't feel safe overclocking on their own. The stock cards have no problem reaching the core/shader/memory speeds of the factory overclocked cards.
Well, from my experience I'd agree with the graph showing the CPU using more power. If you ever look at the specifications of processors and/or monitors, it shows the standard power comsumption. My 22" LCD monitor uses 45w to operate. My processor requires 125watts. It's not a laptop processor. However in the case of a laptop, the screen is smaller requiring less power, and usually use more power efficient processors (which still require more power than the screen).
They both have good customer service from my experience so... whichever way is least expensive. Newegg usually has lower prices but you never know until you look.
You can always partition your hard drive so you can save what you want to keep on one partition while you use the other partition to format and install windows. If you have two hard drives though you won't need to partition.
[QUOTE="TrooperManaic"]I use mac at the collage, they are newer ones and boy are they slow as f*#k. I believe its because the fact that too many ppl use them and they have no disk defrag or anything.TrooperManaic
Mac's do have a disk defrag.
A pc would be just as slow in the same situation with too many people using the same machine.
I have a hard time finding it, I am so used to the windows atmosphere, if you can tell me I would be praised. Don't go back to work til Monday so I won't know until then.
