After seeing this my wife started why cant we use this in kitchen...

[rhythmsandy]

when I said about class A and its heat generation she suggested that we can use this instead of gas... good saving....

How many watts? Bias current?

 

[rhythmsandy]

250w i found this on net no idea on bias current

this looks like a pass aleph3. and it is 250W consumption. 30W class A at 8ohm.
so bias around 1.4A

back in the athlon xp-m era i could prepare turkish/greek coffee (edit: right on the cpu die, with a specially prepared ibrik). Tmax of 100C guaranteed that you probably wouldn't fry the cpu (since as water is at a very slow boil, it remains below 100C) and a 45W TDP (slightly higher when overclocked and overvolted) guarantee a smooth and optimally slow brewing for a perfect cup of coffee.

I miss that computer

 

[AudioSan]

as a computer or coffee maker?

 

[Coconuts 500]

Try an Athlon XP today. It's torture!

AudioSan: mostly as a computer... i don't like that kind of coffee much

coconuts 500: hey now mobile barton OCed to 3GHz, 3 gigs of 266MHz ddr a raptor and a DAAMiT 4670 wouldn't be all that bad

I'm not sure if I agree with that, hehe. I recently had to use a P4 3.0GHz HT computer with 2 GB dual channel DDR-400 and a Geforce 6600GT... it was a nightmare! Absolutely ridiculous how slow that was. Much more so than I had expected.

The software setup plays a much bigger role than the hardware itself. Also, the xp-m@3 is significantly faster than the P4@3

edit: also, P4s if left unattended (as they usually are...) tend to overheat and go into clock decimation. Did you take a peek under the hood?

To clarify even further, it was the last generation 64-bit P4, LGA775. The computer was totally clean inside, and I had just upgraded the CPU from a Celeron, after cleaning up the cooler (I always rinse it under water - with the fan removed, of course). The OS was a fresh XP install with the bloat and old stuff cut out with Nlite. I installed the software and stuff for the owner, and just felt that the computer was way too unresponsive for my tastes. Guess I'm just spoiled with more modern hardware. I remember considering that sort of stuff to be amazing, hehe. Wasn't even particularly long ago.

What about HDD?
