I just got my new 8600 and I'm loving its versatility. However, I keep reading about people having to replace stuff for it. Is the extended warranty worth it? I take really good care of my stuff but this 8600 will get extended...

The extra 200 mhz makes really no difference at all for what you intend to use the computer for. The only things that are really processor intensive are games and some high-end business applications. Get the 1.6 ghz and get 1 gig of...

Mine is as hot as ATL says. I have the 65w one. Whats the difference between the 2 kinds?
