Awesome, thanks.

Suppose I have a PS that supplies 750w, but my system only uses say, 500 W -- what happens to the difference? Is it wasted in heat, or just not consumed?

12MB of cache says otherwise. If you're doing anything data-intensive (which is all a quad core is good for) it will matter.

If you want a quick and dirty way of converting all your code to C#, you can compile it and the decompile it with Reflector's C# mode. You can then export it as a C# project. Some VB specific things like the with statement will need some manual tuning.

EFI sounds great but has a couple of large flaws: it can apparently function independently of the OS (download updates through LAN). This is trusted platform/DRM's wet dream. Secondly, it still has the flaw of being closed and proprietary.Linux BIOS is the way to go.
