I think you are looking at the wrong source of savings, Unless you have several computers running. My electric rate is at 7 cents per KwH, That's average. Some are 5 and some are 9. But my point is at that rate. A computer that draws 100 Watts consumes ($1.18) one dollar and 18 cents per Week to run if left on 24/7 (not including any heat load added to the room)

How do you like it? Thanks to everyone for the responses! I think people read my question as being about low-power in terms of megahertz, but I was thinking of watts and/or units of heat. I'd like to be able to lower my electric bill, or maybe switch to a passive (fanless) CPU cooler. I seem to recall K6s as running notoriously hot, and dual Pentiums aren't likely to use less power than a single Celeron (though dual processors is another intriguing idea, just for different reasons). I may be wrong, though. I'll see if I can find specs for how much electricity those processors use. -Rich ------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe please go to http://www.sambar.ch/list/ ------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe please go to http://www.sambar.ch/list/
