I have plenty of headroom now that I dropped the board and chip to the Intel LittleValley with a 1.3Ghz Celeron (Conroe-L) that only uses about 30w max compared to the 80w of the previous.
I recall you mentioning that setup a few times...
Supposedly the AM2 has less draw. I'm hoping this will be a good MOBO/CPU combo, I got a post in the Hardware section where I have been asking opinions on the hardware. If I get another couple of people to say it is a good board, I'm going to order it and ram asap. And I am also looking at options on sound cards.
