That's the same processor that was in the proposed Net6801-70 (Atom C2758) Note well that the Net6801-70 is listed as system power between 9W Idle and 31W active: http://beta.soekris.net/net6801.html. I'm not sure that TDP is a good indicator of the power that the CPU uses. In my case I took the precaution of running my SuperMicro box on a Watt Meter for a couple of weeks. It averaged 25W. The processor TDP is 13W and the power supply is a 200W unit. My box has 4GB of RAM and 2.5" form factor 64GB SSD. My Soekris Net6501-50 with the same hard drive averages 18W on the same watt meter. I suspect the 200W on the power supply is the maximum it can supply and that it's the smallest power supply that SuperMicro has. -- Chris __o "All I was trying to do was get home from work." _`\<,_ -Rosa Parks ___(*)/_(*)____.___o____..___..o...________ooO..._____________________ Christopher Sean Hilton [chris/at/vindaloo/dot/com]
