according to this the performance is virtually identical - certainly not sufficiently better to justify the extra $ imho

Well the silver seems slightly superior to Me and that is what It all comes down to, Personal preference, Although to qoute part of the article:

As to the difference between silver and copper, I found the silver base to be more consistent (lower standard deviation of test results) than the copper version, with essentially the same C/Ws. One could argue that as such, silver has a slight performance advantage over copper, but not overwhelmingly so.

And as such in overclocking an XP (Barton XP-M 2500+ in My case) Cpu to It's limit(whatever that may be), I would need to remove every last erg of excess temperature from the cpu to do so possibly. But It would be My choice. I already know the cpu that I have will overclock to a higher level than what I have now attained, It just isn't reachable with Air right now as far as I can tell.

Besides, What else do I have to spend My monthly ssi (disability) check on besides Rent(To My brother, It includes Food too), Verizon, AT&T and Charter Pipeline? My brother with whom I live with does the rest and that is a lot.
