okay, now I get it.

I would vote sticky, if this had a bit more to it than one link. Maybe a thread where members post different calculators and people decide which one they want? I would vote sticky to something like that.

Don't mean to sound argumentative but that kinda sucks...
there are only 13 processors to choose from (no bartons wtf?) and what about different video cards? There is no way a 6800ultra takes up the same ammount of power as a ti4200...
I've seen better... i'll post it when i find it again.
[edit] nevermind... you beat me to it... The second link is 10X better...
the only thing i can think of to make it better would be to input the vcore/vdimm and overclocked frequency... lol.. fat chance of that happening though.

The second one is better and i think the first one is lousy. it only lists a handfull of intel processors and maybe a couple amd processors. plus some people are complaining about NaN (not a number in javascript) so there's some javascript bugs in the page.
