I don;t agree
i measure my intel motherboard (D510) with 2G DDR2 ram
and one 3.5" WD hard disk
using cooler master CM100 (small case ) and tfx power (claim to be 150W)
i cause me >30W around 35W
not 1X W claimed by yfung
lttliang
i am doing similar thing to u
hoping to do the soft router (becuase I can have more control onthe firewall
and extensive reporting , I think)
but hard to find anything good
I also try the itx version of G41 intel board with E3300 (vt)
it cost me >40W idle

never use intel board ( i trust that for stability)
but no option in bios to alter the frequency or voltage
I use an old P3 (hp oem) and 2*256MB ram and 1 3.5" 80G IDE hard disk
and you know it cause me >35W .....
VIA(cn700) PC3500 seems a good choice
but it is difficult to buy a new one now
it is ok for tdm410p
and it will hang up for the tdm800 card (8 fxo)
which broad you suggested that can lower the frequency
and dynamically boost up (like turbo boost) when required
or should we stick to atom board
I need the power as I am experiencing all-in-one server
soft router (clearos) I want extensive reporting on hacking and control on internet access
+ samba
+ ftp
+ asterisk
+ LAMP
it save power (green) and the world
*********************************************
I would like to try to lower the frequency to achieve that with socket 775
and without video card (save the critical few watts on long run)
any ching has experience with any board. |
