LePaul: I said power consumption DOESN'T matter, not that it does. As long as you have a PSU you're set.
38Ruk: This is the perception I have gained by generally hanging out with people that know more than I do on the matter. I also wonder why, if Intel chips can't be overclocked in a more stable manner, that only have tests been done on Intel chips to overclock them to 6GHz, 7GHz, and even 9GHz (I don't think that was stable enough to boot OS, though).
Bloom: Very informative!
