It'll be interesting to see how well the processor overclocks at that high of a bus speed...it didn't seem to hamper the new 800MHz FSB Pentium 4, which many people were worried about too."

  1. What price power? by AccUser · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I work from home, and have a network of 5 PCs of various specifications. You can tell when they are on because the floorboards in the hall vibrate, never mind the noise they make.

    I have recently invested in a VIA EPIA-M10000 motherboard. It is very, very quiet.

    Sure, it isn't as fast as the latest P4 or Athlon, but it plays DVD (with hardware support), DivX, and MP3 media without any problems. Quake 3 runs well.

    More importantly, I can run all my business applications without any noticable loss in speed.

    I'm going to ditch my other boxes and buy some more of these EPIA systems. It's the quiet life for me.
