@All,

I'm not interested in an x86 OS. I don't wan't another power hog, I have one already. So please, no more x86. Power Miser computing is what I'm looking for, If I need some thing else I have a monster waiting.

The Amiga never had anything to do with limited power consumption. Besides, PPC doesn't mean lower power anyway. x86 and PPC architecture has nothing to do with power consumption. You can find power hogs and power sippers in both camps.


Hi,

The new machine's CPU runs at 20 watts, I'll bet this space heater, I mean PentiumD machine will draw 200 watts easy.
 Back in the day there was no such thing as big differences in power consumption, a CPU was pretty much a CPU. Things have changed. Sure there are uses for such power but not every day.
