[mythtv-users] Cpu and power management

[wouter lists]

All,

My htpc died last night, so it's time for a new one.

As the energy prices keep rising, it's time to invest in a power
efficient CPU. What CPU has the lowest power consumption? I'm gonna
stay with Intel or AMD. High definition would be nice but is not
required.

My local pc store told me that it's better to buy powerfull
powersupply, eg 700Watt output. According to him it handles much
butter the output then a cheap 400Watt powersupply. Is this correct?

Thanks in advance,

Wouter
