I may hold out and see if anyone offers a Fanless AGP 7600GT . Idle 7600GT - 14.6W Idle 7600GS - 13.7W You can always rig up a fan to go to 12v when in 3D, and...

not sure if that'd really help because that's 11 watts at idle, you don't play games at idle. The Core 2 Duo E6300 did better than any of the 64x2's at CPU...
Given that AMD has essentially obsolesced the 32-bit line and introduced a dual core line, this computer is now is entry level, not really a games machine...
Thank you mate. When you look at the (particularly idle) power requirements you can see why AMD are going this way Rusty... but in my recent experience, cost...
My answer to your criticism/question James is that most PCs spend the vast proportion of their time on idle. This was the reason that SETI@home requested that...
John Glad you see the point. Unless you're running a SETI type program, your computer is almost always running very near idle power. Agree this is not a...
http://www.pbus-167.com/nhc/nhc.htm I got it for my laptop and liked it so much I decided to put it on my desktop. Now my CPU temps are 15 degrees C lower...
I want to upgrade to a dual core system for video editing as well as audio editing. I require low noise levels as this is a studio type of environment (voice...
Hi Richard - You would probably want to look at the latest generation of Intel desktop processors, the Core 2 Duo (aka Conroe). These offer lower power...
... As an alternative, I have been using SpeedSwitchXP (http://www.diefer.de/speedswitchxp/index.html) for years, on a Dell laptop (no, it did not explode, it...
"TaskSwitchXP uses 5496 bytes in memory" I'm guessing you mean SpeedswitchXP and that's kBytes, not bytes. It uses 5528 k on the laptop, 4500 on the desktop...
first, windows task manager only displays programs in KByte, hence the "K" next to every program. second, notepad uses 3,272 K, even System Idle Process uses...
Right, SpeedSwitchXP. And right, KBytes. My previous memory usage was incorrect. I had checked history log, so this was worse than the minimum. Now, it is...
I have installed NHC a few hours ago. Here are my first impressions. The interface is indeed nice. It manages to include much more options than SpeedSwitchXP...
The reason it keeps the desktop so cool is it has the ability to underclock the processor. My stock speeds are 2.4ghz (AMD64 4000+) and when running NHC it...
Wrong processor name in my previous message: my wife has a Celeron, not a Centrino (which is not a processor anyway). If it had been a Centrino, it could have...

Perfect! I don't know if I missed it the first time or if it has been added in one of the updates I installed (I think I updated at least once), but anyhow,...
Hello all, and Happy Boxing Day! I have a Toshiba laptop that's on its last legs and need to buy something new. I would like something very quiet. Small would...
