Re: Setting for permanent underclocking

72.25.90.205

No need to buy a laptop. You can buy core duo and core 2 duo mobile processors and compatible Micro-ATX motherboards on newegg.com (among other places, I'm sure). It does limit your motherboard selection a bit. Should be almost as fast as the desktop core 2 duo, but cooler & lower power. That's what I would try using for this type of project. Apple's Mac Mini is an example of a desktop system using a Core Duo chip originally intended for laptops. Yours would be much better optimized though, with a bigger case (cooler), no optical drive, and a PCI sound card or USB sound device. CPU performance capabilities would be worse, but probably not by very much. RAM speeds and front side bus (FSB) speeds also would be slightly worse, but would this matter for these purposes? I doubt it.
