    220-240V, it's all the same.

    Frequency is largely irrelevant. UK/AU power is 50Hz. Coincidentally our TVs operate at 50Hz. US power is 60Hz, and guess what - their TVs use 60Hz refresh rate. I'm not aware of the frequency affecting the efficiency of the power transmission.

    Good lord man, nobody transmits national power as DC, that's just not viable. The UK (and I believe Australia too) transmit AC power over the electricity grid, and steps down to domestic power at about 220V AC which is more efficient (power transmitted vs power lost in transmission) than the US' 110V.

    Hmm, I check this site every day, attempted to complete the survey as soon as I saw it, but closed as you already have enough responses. In the space of 24 hours? Wow, that's going to be REALLY representative.

    Good lord man, what the hell are you talking about? What a disjointed string of thought there - because Intel is the most sucessful, has the best advertising and sell the most products then it has already lost the processor war?

    Wow, Donald Trump, I think you've found your man! Give this guy a contract, quick!
