Hi Eganders,
totally off thread subject, but anway here is some info that might help you.
I have an atom board running, different to Barry's.
Mine is a atom 330 (dual CPU) has the realtek onboard NIC and an intel NIC in the expansion slot. I turned off hyperthreading at the same time as I upgraded to 7.402, I note the CPU is loaded more with lots of little spikes than before.
My Atom has 3 fans, one on the display chipset and oneon the power supply a real little noise maker (only noticable in a very quiet room and I am slightly deaf) and th eother a case fan pumping air out.
Runs very cool except under extended load then starts pumping heat out.
Performance wise I have noting to complain about, the previous ASG was built around and AMD 2300 (45w) chip.
Load/configuration
4 PCs regulary connected
2-3 laptops occassionally via a wireless ap.
2 VoIP phnoes on individaul ATAs
1 Linux server on line occassionally while it is being configured
2 networked printers
HTTP/S proxy (I have fully implemented https on all users due to certificate errors)
ftp proxy
smtp proxy (outgoing only)
pop3 proxy and prefetch
user portal is enabled
dual anti-virus scanners
IDS/IPS configured
One user on packfilter and http proxy time managed access
Internet connection last time I checked was 5000/1000
I am about (later today) implement VLANs to split the VoIP traffic away from the users traffic.
Outstanding RFCat_vk.
Does the statement "Home Power User - Intel Atom 330 2gb laptop 120gb 2 NICs Intel Pro 1000 (82541PI) and realtek 8111 (about 20w or less)" mean you figure you're regularly running 20W or less, /w the 3 fans, etc? That's the way to do it.
I'll have to start figuring out a config. I'd love to have an ASG and some household computers that are running very low power.
Does, or do you let, this Astaro box go into any "power saving" modes, or to do the job does it need to be "on" all the time?
Did the case / power supply you used dictate the 3 fan decision as opposed to a large heatsink (s)?
