[QUOTE="Anusha, post: 87648, member: 828"] Of course P4 consumes less energy than P-D. But Pentium-D has two cores, and it doesn't use two times the power. It uses about 30% more power than a P4 with same clock speed. And this power is only applicable when you are utilizing both cores at 100%. Otherwise it's not a big deal. But remember, try to get a case with a lot of ventilation. By this I don't mean hook up lots of fans. Too much fans will make too much air pressure inside the case and it's worse than having no fans. Typically, air should come in from the front and go out from the higher back. Exhaust fans are more important than front intake fans because the vacuum effect of the exhaust fans will draw air into the case from the vents. Add front intake fans to keep your HDDs cool (two birds by one stone :)). It's either 6600 or 6600GT. There wasn't any other model. So if there's any hint of a "G", it's the GT. Anyway, if you are going for the 6600 (non-GT), i think go for the 7300GS. Both give pretty much the same performance. 6600 is a bit fast, but unless the price difference is Rs.1000 or less, don't buy the 6600 non-GT model. [/QUOTE]
