This was my concern too. You are right, high-power PSU's are generally more efficient with higher loads. Things are not that bad tough as you can see from my results with a 400W PSU. The website of the manufacturer mentions the following efficiencies: 20% load - 89.8% 50% load - 92.9% 100% load - 91.9% Rob. http://freedomboxblog.nl _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
