Do you mean the one with the lowest TDP or the one that runs the lowest Vcore?

 

[wesley]

TDP? sorry lol i'm not sure what you mean

I want to build a file server/print server/download box/RDC box all in one that will running 24/7 so cheapest running is a must.

i dont really want VIA/EPIA cpu cos they're slow and expensive.

thanks

Probally a AMD single core they do like 30w tdp which is very low. It has to be AM2 though. I this will do. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-164-AM&groupid=701&catid=6&subcat=

TDP iirc is how much power the cpu uses under full load.
If you want dualcore then theres also the 35 watt version of the x2 3800+.

Lower tdp usually mean cooler too.

Also a link to a nice list of processors power dissipation is the see also bit.

Don't the L2 stepping Conroes consume 12W at idle, 32W load? That's pretty low.
