My AMD "space heater" processor (which was well >ventilated and "fanned") melted that dekstop.
That's becoming a huge problem for all components. I read something about the next Pentium IV consuming some insane amount of power, and then I saw something that took the cake. One of the graphics card companies (can't remember if it was ATI or nVidia) was going to ask the standards group that specs PCI/PCIe to allow more power for the PCIe slot because they might need up to 225 W for the next version GPU. I lost my interest in gaming, and I don't do CAD or anything else that graphically intensive, so I've been looking at going low power rather than high end. Still enough power for typical computing tasks, but much lower heat dissipation and power consumption. I would like nothing more than a small form factor desktop with dual display support and no fan, or only a minimal fan. I saw the Mac Mini at the Apple store. I'm not a Mac guy, but that's a killer little piece of hardware. I want someone in the x86 space to make something like that. The other thing I could deal with would be a tablet PC. HP has a great one, but price is premium on those babies. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:156192 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
