[QUOTE="knutinh, post: 54619, member: 14776"] As I said before, I do know my bills a lot better than you =) And I pay exactly the same price for electrical heating as I do for electrical computing. In fact, my power company can`t tell if the current is flowing through a heating element or a processor =) I am aware that most countries have more problems with cooling thier houses properly than heating it, but Norway is cold most of the yeahr, and we have plenty of waterfalls ;-) Most appartements have no other source of heat than electricity. When I bought my systems, I bought the options that made most sense at that time. I am not argueing that p4 precotts are simple to cool silently. In fact, I cant remember exactly what I was argueing ;-) I think it had something to do with your bold, "eith-or" statements, when reality is always complex and faceted. It used to be at least, that no processor could beat the p4 at running ffdshow really, really fast.
