Looking at the AMD X2 4600...89watt vs 69watt?

Iis there any reason not to get the lower power consuming chip for my build?

I've heard that the lower wattage Windsors don't overclock quite as well as the normal Windsors. Although, that was some time ago, back when they first came out; it may no loner apply. If you aren't going to be overclocking (or won't be much), then there isn't any reason at all not to get the 69 watt version.

Yeah, I don't plan on oc'ing it. I ordered it today $125.99 and a free t shirt from Newegg. I'm replacing an old p4 2.4 Dell machine. The reviews I read were all positive so I went for it.

That, and the price dropped like $40 bucks overnight it seemed. Truthfully though, mostly because of Battlefield 2.
