    Laptop CPU choice

    looks a little different, the acer has the same specs except the cpu and the hdd is a little smaller, doesnt bother me really, is it really worth a $40 extra for the lenovo? dont forget the 13% tax we have here

    same features and price but different cpu's, whats better for general use: Intel® Core™ i3-380M Processor (3M Cache, 2.53 GHz) or Intel® Pentium® Processor B960 (2M Cache, 2.20 GHz) The specs are too close to call and the B series is newer it seems...

    Advice needed please

    He exchanged it for a coolermaster unit with 700 watts and a 52A rating, yes - overkill, but it was only $20 more then the one he already bought, so just for the future - what do you guys mean total amperage? the current is divided in parallel between the 12v rails isn't it ?

    My EVGA GTX 460 1GB @ 865MHz, card originally shipped with 763MHz all stock voltage I think its weird that your OC of 830 is the same maximum on two different cards, but at the same time, they are from the same manufacturer and the same model.
