I'm building a second AMD desktop computer. Need some advice on how to handle the processors.
My existing desktop is running a 5600+ 89 watt Windsor. No overclocking of any kind. I use it mostly for browsing the web and Adobe CS3.
I bought a new 4850e CPU (45 watt) for the new rig, which will be used much less. But if I swap CPU's between computers, it would probably save lots of $$$ on my energy bill.
Aside from the slightly slower speeds of the 4850e, would I regret this change later on?
