[QUOTE="kszabo, post: 551931, member: 61646"] he has already a CPU, we don´t know which one, unfortunately (next time fill in "my system" please) If one does not need 4 cores (as most HTPC-users) a Athlon II X2 is the best choice (only 2 physical cores and lack of L3-Cache -> less idle consumption), paired with a 785G/HD4200 µATX board. my favourite old topic :-) TPD says nothing about average power consumption of a CPU (only the possible maximum peak, a demand motherboards must b able to cope with without smoke), nothing about idle consumption (very important for HTPCs) and nothing about energy efficiency of the CPU. but you are right, the new Athlon IIs have very good idle consumption (especially X2s) and acceptable energy efficiency.
