    If your planning on leaving the new system left turned on 24hours a day 7days a week then yeah it will use more power.

    But if you are only going to use it, and shut it off then it shouldn't use that much power.

    Hi KK,

    Here is an article on power consumption by PCs.

    Remember that it is the whole system that consumes power, not just the processor, and that the amount is quite different between standby and full load.

    Hi KK,

    Is this what you are thinking about?

    http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=CP-161-IN

    Please check out the product reviews tab................as oofki suggests, there doesn't seem to be much difference between motherboards. Personally I use Gigabyte or Asus.

    For a similar FSB speed, different boards from the quality manufacturers will be within a few percent of eachother. I guess I would look at RAM, graphics and HDD performance first.

    Remember, this is a highly competitive market, so you are unlikely to see significant performance differences between similarly priced compatible boards.

    EDIT:

    Here are the latest processor comparison charts:

    I would suggest that if you go for what Tom uses you won't go far wrong

    I agree with what Nihil is saying. The benchmarks for each mother board are going to be very close to each other. Some might win in one area and one in another but the end result is about the same. VERY close to being the same (when using the same chipsets/fsb/controllers/memory/etc)

    I suppose the argument would lie somewhere between Intel and AMD ....

    I have been a long time fan of AMD however, have not used an AMD PC in a number of years. During that time it has been Intel all the way, and I would have difficulty faulting my experience with Intel.

    I am no expert on the fine details of processors however, if anyone has strong point of view or advice/opinion on this subject, lets discuss it :!
