That's not that big of a difference...Also, Gentoo/Linux does not have |
| 4 |
powersaving for every device like Windows XP...it's writing to the hard |
| 5 |
drive more often and it doesn't spin as much down when it's not in use to |
| 6 |
help performance. Also, if i was you, i'd be worried about your system using |
| 7 |
that LITTLE energy especially since you have a pretty hefty CPU, video card, |
| 8 |
motherboard, 2 hardrives and al the rest of your components. |
