Yes, 4850 > 280M.
Note it has "M" in it and is not the same chip as 280.

Only when you start playing a game or put 100% load on CPU for more than a few minutes the secondary fan kicks in. And even that isn't particularly loud. Only on maximum fan speed it comes close to a regular tower case, and you have to really tax the machine to get it to that point. I regularly forget to shut the thing down when I go to sleep, even though it stands literally 20 cm's from my head.

Water cooling sounds all 1337 badass, but you don't actually need it at stock CPU speeds, and you're only making things unnecessarily complicated (and more expensive) compared to normal air cooling.]]>Jul 2nd 2010 7:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/liquid-cooled-asetek-prototype-redefines-our-all-in-one-expectat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/liquid-cooled-asetek-prototype-redefines-our-all-in-one-expectat/

as a guy with an imac
a pc running windows 7
and a computer with ubuntu

Windows 7 is by far my least favourite,
in fact the only reason i have it is due to some gadget manufacturers not supporting MAC OSX (i.e HTC)

I only converted to a mac in march.

havn't booted up my pc in 2 months

Actually try and use both OS's before calling me a fanboy

p.s Steam for mac is great!
