Hi list :)
So, now I want to replace it with a nice power efficient, low to about average processing power machine. The major constraints being that it should run cool and must be cost effective. I know that VIA processors are some of the best when it comes to power efficiency. They also make small boards ( ITX? ) which have smaller formfactor than the regular uATX boards. So can someone suggest me a config which will cost about Rs.5000 for CPU / Motherboard / RAM ( 256MB ) and may be a harddisk to go with it?
Via cle266 3000/- ram 1400/- disk 2400 ~ 3800.
That is the lowest u will get. that is my present office setup and works quite well except for kernel compiles (with x running) which takes quite some time.
If u want performance it's AMD beats the pants of Intel.
