It appears that the MSI E65 board is on sale at the Egg for US$75 A/R and FS.

Perhaps a desktop isn't needed. With a CULV netbook you can plug in another monitor, keyboard and USB drives. You can't use PCI soundcards, but you can use USB DACs. I've been thinking the same thing myself, Alex.

You always hear about how one browser is faster than the others, but 3.6 is quick. I hope they update the extensions fast.
I got the link at Fudzilla.

I don't know if it is the absolute lowest, but AnandTech just tested the Nividia GT 210 and 220. A quote from their article: "At idle, the GT 220 is one cool card. We’re a bit surprised that it couldn’t beat the 5850 here given the tiny 7W idle power usage" AnandTech. And MSI has a passive 210 v...

I checked, mine also uses only 6 watts.

I have a Sceptre X20G-NagaIII and it is consuming 27 watts. The brightness is turned down and it is only calibrated by my eye. Which is to say not much at all. I don't hear any noise to speak of, but perhaps I am just not obsessive enough. Sceptre is a low price brand. I applaud SPCR for reviewing m...

Really, I must check.

I thought more would post on this subject. I feel I might update a system I already have with a new cpu or even m/b, but for a whole new system I am looking forward to a CULV. Book or desktop I don't know, but if I can run a bigger screen off the netbook. and a better keyboard, then I will bet it is...

I've run a Ninja passive in a TF8200/AMD 4000x2 OCd to 2.6. In the winter. In the summer, no. But like Jamie, I just didn't see the point. I have an Asus 75 on that board now and the fan is off right now. If I start doing more things the fan will come on, but it is not intrusive.

Ksanderash, may I ask why you are changing back to the G31 from the G41? If I understood you correctly. Does theICH7 southbridge definitely require a down firing heatsink/fan? I wonder if the ICH10 get as hot as the ICH7?

My 2Wire 2701HG uses 22 watts. It is a router/modem combo.
The older Sprint (Embarq) 620 modem only uses 5 watts. I don't know who made this for Sprint.

The op wants to play video and the Atom has a difficult time with Flash video. The nividia 9300 is going away, likely due to the fact that the 775 cpu is going away. That is too bad as I think that is a good chipset. Handles Linux and has Pure Video, etc. But they are usually considerably more expen...

Hi im new to this and haven't a clue about PicoPSU's but was wondering can u run 4 hard drives off 1 PicoPSU? was thinkin of mayb a via epia sn 10000g mobo and 4 (1TB WD green HDD). I wanted to know if u can run this off a PicoPSU. all the ones iv seen only have 1 sata power and 1 molex power. any ...

I alternate between Lush and the Suburbs of Goa.

If you found something you should also try some other software like Malwarebytes, Avira or even Microsoft Security Essentials. I have found things with one security software that apparently another did not find. These are all free so nothing to lose but time.

Here's what you need.

I have a 2Wire dsl modem/router and while it has been running wired for maybe six months, continually without a problem, it uses 22 watts. I think that is somewhat high, but maybe not.

Really a curious situation as companies like Gigabyte and Asus have as many six or eight motherboards in their P55 lineup, but I have read where the Lynfield chipset might be superseded in just sixth months. As I understand it there is no northbridge. It might be a cool running chipset. There is a l...

My 18 Cubic Feet Amana electric uses about 560 watts steady state when on. My 1.6 cf GE uses about 60 steady. Measured by Kill-a-watt. The quiet GE is very small and it has no fan so manual defrost. It would not be sufficient for a large family. We have learned to adjust for this. It doesn't hold mu...

This is one of the best value chipsets at the moment. Despite my previous problems with the 780G chipset, I may give this iteration another go. The Gigabyte GA-MA785GPM-UD2H (DDR2 version) is fairly cheap around here and is packed with more than enough features than I actually need. DDR3 memory is ...

It seems the Internets (tm GW Bush) is just filled up with anticipation of the P55, complete with pretty pictures and heavy forum discussion. I know there was a brief discussion here about why SPCR does M/B reviews. I like the SPCR M/B reviews as there is mention of things important to me like Speed...

I had that happen. Pretty much as you described. I changed out like three PS, checked memory, swapped HDs, thought of overheating, etc. Exasperating. I had it open one time and somehow nudged the cord that comes from the power switch on the front to the M/B. It stopped. Turns out a loose connection....

Consider the BenQ T2200HD. I bought one earlier this year for the same reason you stated (movies). Also, it has a screen format of 16:9. The usual for computer monitors is 16:10. Your video card will make the all difference. (I am using an ATI Radeon 2600 Pro at the moment, and am happy with the re...

"There are a couple of 45 watt single processors on the Egg currently, one of them is 45 nm tech." Explain to me how watts relates to 45 or 65 nm. I don't understand that. Like how much more power would you expect to use if you had a 65 watt, 45 nm as opposed to 45-45. Or do they just run cooler or ...

Desi-influenced Asian world beats. Streamed at 128k. This Internets thing might catch on yet.

How do I waste time? Generally, just sitting in front of this computer. And I don't want to say that it is all a bad thing. I happen to believe that there is something good and therapeutic about sitting and doing nothing. I used to listen to music long hours, but that was back in the day when I used...
