I do have two Socket A-K7Mobile, but none beats the 700MHz coppermine. Are geodes hard to get/expensive? Do they run on normal motherboards?
Quiet impressive the geforce2 mx!
Sound doesn't matter much energy wise?
Regarding the memory do you mean those modules with only one side populated?
SSD good call!
PSU seems too much investment though.
What about CRT vs LED?
Should I consider a laptop?
Thanks
This motherboard that i listed before, has support for it, geode cpus not easy to pick up, still possible to find. One sided memory should use less power. Laptop is the easy way. Use mobile or low power cpu for DesktopPC if you can and build from that, i just like AMD builds more.
Faster PC would be K8 S754 with Mobile Sempron or Turion64 cpu (22 to 24w ones), also only single channel so 1xmemory stick ok (single sided). If you want to stay with socket370 and cpu speed does not matter that mutch, then Celeron 533A (coppermine) has 14w usage.
I add three of my AMD Mobile builds here, that i have:
