Good article. Hope this is the right place to discuss this - I still regularly use for webbowsing and email an IBM thinkpad 560x (233mhz mmx) with 96mb ram. Measured with a Killawatt power meter, when plugged into the mains with the screen on full brightness (admittedly not as bright as modern scree...

Have had a quick scan though most of the pages, haven't seen anything similar but sorry if this has already been covered.. What about those projection/virtual keyboards (one here) ? I guess they might be horrid to type on but would be very quiet if you projected them onto a reasonably soft surface. ...

My wife's computer is an unusual HP Pavillion with an 800mhz Socket 370 PIII. It plays videos flawlessly with the on-board Intel i810 graphics. I recently removed the CPU fan and it sure does run a bit hot. (I don't know temperatures, I just know the touch-it-with-your-finger test. It's hot! But pe...

Forgot to mention, on this previouly celeron system (stock nec powermate es), I replaced the psu fan with a 60mmx15mm papst 612 fl, connected for 5v.

mobile athlon xp 1500/1800
There are a couple of online retailers in the UK selling mobile athlon xps (1500 and 1800) for £20 - £30. I know that the newer mobile Barton's work on normal motherboards, but I'm not sure about these older mobile xps. So, does anyone know about the mobile athlon xp 1500/1800: a) If they work at al...
