I lied.. One last question. How large should the SSD be that I purchase for the OS, software, and DB?

Thanks again! I knew the max TDP was higher on the 4570 so assumed the power use would normally be higher. Didn't think about the longevity association with the TDP. I'll use the 4570S for my main PC. Got a good deal for both of them so will make use of them. I'm upgrading from an old Core 2...
