| |
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. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
