 | Re: Power Draw best @ low watts Well, saying Vista sucks with onboard video isn't really true for the purpose this guy will be using the computer for. I helped a guy right down the street build a new computer and the Intel graphics chip on his mobo works just fine. He can play Bejeweled 2 just fine, run all the web games he wants with no issue and the need for a stand alone GPU simply wasn't there. It doesn't score well on the Vista system tester, but it certainly fills his needs. And he's doing so with a 22" Dell monitor.

| Re: Power Draw best @ low watts Yeah ... this system will rock for my friend. His older 2.4ghz AMD single core and IDE drive machine started to fail.
It seemed to spec well at low cost. Main: 3ghzQ6600, Gemini2, IP35 Pro, PC 610W PSU, 4GB 6400, XP Pro, 500GB raid 0, 22" + (2)19" WS LCD's w/ Palit 9600 GT and Dual Core Notebook.
