just read this online stulid, as you have me intrigued about my SE understanding

http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/foru...-nvidia-geforce-gtx-460-se-1gb-review-17.html

Doesn't this suggest that the SE would be at a disadvantage to a non-SE 460 if he can get one? (or even a 768)

i bow to your knowledge as you clearly know more about it than i do.

Ok so thats what you now recommend? Does this differ much from the original spec?

Thanks... can't believe the thread hasn't died yet lol.

Edit: Will the heatsink with the CPU be sufficient or will I have to get another one?
