In that case you are truly on a fools errand. You will NEVER save enough energy with this CPU to recover your costs. Vastly more power could be saved by huge passive heat sinks and getting rid of fans. Running a computer headless saves well in excess of 80 percent of the power utilized by the typical desktop computer. Finding the lowest consumption disk drives or running fewer of them will save more. But chaseing after the miniscule savings on this CPU, especially since you will probably have to replace the mobo tu use it will save you nothing. -- ----------JSA--------- _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
