What I am finding with my installation is the CPU is only a portion of the power equiation. The more you are hoping to use this computer for the more power it will take. Do you want to watch the occasional DVD, play MP3's, connect to a SSB for email, Satphone, WIFI, cordless keyboard, MUX, AIS, the list goes on. With and AMD Geode 1750 mini-itx board, 120gb laptop drive and 1gb sitck of ram I draw about 3.9 amps. Some of that might come from USB attachments, I am looking into how to power them down with out unplugging them as some will not be needed offshore.
