slightly ot: A low power pc might not always use less power then a pc with higher peeks. Rightly configured a faster cpu will finish the job faster and can go to power save faster (deep sleep modes etc). (this is partially the reason why an amd sempron can use less power on average then an atom (beside chipset) and same goes for the via nano cpu is better). under linux you can tweak this pretty good, you want an ondemand cpu scheduler and you can use tools like intel's powertop to see how much time it spend in what state. Also chipset is important (if you want more info try reading up on the whole energy efficient intel atom and power hungry chipset they are sold with, enough articles about it on the internet). Also laptops howto's can help you minimize power user. (f.e. turning off onboard soundcard, wifi, etc.) -- qball ------------------------------------------------------------------------ qball's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32031 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66331 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
