are done. :) I am not convinced the $40 45W AMD BE 2400+ has "crappy performance" compared to a $280 130W i7 920 (which has ~4x more performance for multimedia applications than a BE 2400+), when power and cost are considered. The numbers suggest otherwise....

thing I did was check on the power consumption of my computer and ofcourse the 2400 Pro. When I found out that the 2400 Pro uses less than 20 Watts idle (14 Watts minimum) I thought I'd be fine. Ofcourse I wasn't all to sure about the source and the power consumption...

UPS and power consumption. Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.chips () hello guys. I would like to know whether my UPS draws as much current(when computer is in standy mode) as it does when the computer is working full power? The UPS is a...

draw or power consumption with the 2400 over the 2000? I only have a 300w power supply (Antec). If you are going "A" to "B" thorougbred, you will have a drop in power usage, if you are already using a b core, you will see a slight increase in power consumption....

them or by using a diode in series with them) would not cause any damage, despite their being able to supply greater current than alkalines. Put another way, if an external power pack was made from alkaline D cells, which probably can supply greater current...

Another option, if you can find them, would be AMD's mobile Sempron "Thin and Light" chips. Performance in the same range as the Pentium-M, only slightly higher power consumption and MUCH lower prices. Sadly though, these chips are VERY hard to find in...

shutdowns and restarts are almost always power related. That really means absolutely nothing. Chances are that all three of the systems are right on the edge of what the power supplies can actually handle. Thanks to the typical variances in power consumption,...

older games at lower resolutions a new supercard isn't needed. But it's been my experience that most people on this board are using the power a high end card affords them. My two cents. the reason people buy cards like these is because they want to play...
