I'm wondering how much of the juice savings is burned up in the higher fsb etc.
Basically.. how big is the KWH/day difference going to be?
I'm also quite interested in this because I'm going to run it on full load 24/7 (DC you know).
Even a $100 price difference when buying the CPU might not matter if I'm running it for at least 2 years.

Having the numbers enables the math
