Currently I have:<br>
- ASUS P4P800 MOBO (enough PCI slots);<br>
- Intel P4 2.8Ghz w/HT;<br></blockquote><div><br>If your backend is in an air conditioned room, consider replacing your processor. A 2.8 GHz Prescott P4 will consume close to 40W more than a similarly powerful and pin compatible $70 <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116037">1.6 GHz Allendale Pentium</a> , which will translate to roughly $35/year in energy savings assuming a rate of $.08/KwH and AC running 25% of the time.<br>
<br>(damn, I wish I hadn't just worked out those numbers. I'm sitting next to a 3.0GHz Prescott that runs 24/7 and I had been planning on spending that money on other things.)<br> <br></div></div>TV/IT Engineer<br>
