Re: gas and elecy bill doubles
I take it that the PC is just a normal office/home use PC, not an all singing all dancing Games pc?
Even so that can still suck 400w when running (and if it's a monster games pc you would be looking at up to a 1.2Kw PSU these days). |

 according to this sum of all FPS benchmarks the 8800 is only bested by 5 other single GPUs, and they're all newer gen cards. either you're trolling or you haven't a clue about hardware, judging by your earlier comments about power consumption i'm going to go ahead and assume the latter...

Re: gas and elecy bill doubles
My gas and electricity combined was £59.50 a month for a 4 bed 3 storey house. That has doubled as of this month to £120
 Mainly because I have been soft this winter and had the gas on 24hrs a day and the thermostat at 25 lol Its
