The lower wattage does not equal slower preformance. Actually it is the
other way around.
a. less power consumption = cooler processor
b. Less heat while on load
c. longer processor life.
the extra 4 dollars is well worth it. granted it would be better if they
offered 45 watt rohs complaint chips but that is life. But a dvr would
benefit the lower power consumption and heat. As some one who had to deal
with heat issues with commerical dvr products.
