You should check out http://pvrhw.goldfish.org/ to see what others have used and how they liked it. > AMD Sempron 64 2600+ Palermo 800MHz FSB Socket 754 Processor Model > SDA2600BXBOX - Retail $64.00 As I understand it, that part will not support cool n quiet operation. I believe you have to go up to a 3000+ to get that. Cool n quiet, with the kernel's cqu frequency scaling enabled, slows the clock when the cpu load is low, saving power and heat, and allowing your cpu fan to slow down. I've got an Athlon 64 3000+ and have frequency scaling working very well. The lowest clock speed supported seems to be 1 GHz, though. I wish I could slow it even further for the times when nothing's happening and the machine is just acting as a file server. -- Peter Schachte A month in the laboratory can often save an hour [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the library. www.cs.mu.oz.au/~schachte/ -- F.
