Just curious. I know this would be a topic better served on a pc forum but it seems like they're more concerned with overclocking. As I plan and build my machine within the near future, I want to make an effort to make it as power saving as possible (without sacrificing power). I know both the AMD X2 processors and Intel Core 2 Duo are both relatively green at a stated power consumption of 65W or less. I most likely will get a Core 2 Duo but don't plan on overclocking it as I figure in stock config, it still will be pretty powerful and overclockign it will up the power ante. But what about other devices, say the power supply and video card? I want to get a video card that will be suitable for at least modest gaming but was wondering if in amongst the offerings from Nvidia and ATI if any of them were noticeably less power hungry then others.
Just wondering if anybody investigated and built a green machine and where did they get their research from. As mentioned, it seems like overclocking is a far more appealing option to most but maybe some of them should plug their pc into a killowatt meter and perhaps some may sing a different tune.
