I'm inheriting the following, and thinking about making a wee media centre out of it:
Socket 478 P4 2.8Ghz
Asus p4v8x-x
1GB DDR400
Radeon 9550
Now the TDP for the cpu is 64w, but all this box will be doing is outputting video to a tv or playing mp3s, and I'd like to minimize the power draw.
Does anyone know if this cpu and mobo will allow for underclocking? And what sort of wattage saving could I look at running it at 1.6-2ghz (or less if it can still do video)?
Ta!
