Subject: A new, cheap low-power motherboard - how to pick?
Date: Tue, 26 Dec 2006 09:44:10 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4590EEEA.6060302@mauve.plus.com> (raw)
I was wanting to upgrade from my K7S5A (Socket A, duron 1300) to
something with integrated USB2 and net.
The K7S5A was poor in a few ways - but at least showed that it was
possible for it to hit 30-32W idle, using athcool, though the network
card kept wedging, and sound diddn't work in that mode.
The very few reviews I can find seem to indicate that 'CoolnQuiet'
doesn't really help much.
Can anyone suggest where I should start looking? (at a total budget of
$US100 for motherboard + processor or so).
I'm on a quest for replacing any items in the home with low power ones,
and energy saving versions, as they need replaced. My bills are too high.
My first choice - the K7S41GX - diddn't actually work out in that
athcool doesn't work at all (trying to raise the energy to look in the
chipset datasheet if I can find it)
Many thanks.
Ian Stirling.
