psu the same ( an antec which delivers 385w IIRC).

@j: have you seen any significant increase in electric power from the wall after the overclocking? how does it handle file compressing ? ( gzip, winrar, 7z or any of those)

EDIT: once more I ask if we can have automerge in posts please
iirc you have to buy a 8000 series cpu to have a quad socket system. which would set back $1000 a pop. the ones jcool has are 700 but i could imagine one of these with 45nm would be very power efficient.
