I venture to guess that the squaretrade sample size is significantly larger than your 8 computer sample size. Also, sample sizes are usually pretty small. That is why they are called sample sizes.

False. Sandy Bridge is significantly faster than the 1st generation Core i* series. Not that it matters in gaming though since the video card is the bottleneck.
