    I had a P4 2.8 GHz (as if that's not bad enough it was also a Dell). Before that I think I had a PII and maybe a K6 before then...

    Sometimes I wonder if the extra processing oomph is that necessary. I run a 6600 at the moment, and I'd much rather trade off the speed for power efficiency (anything that needs more processor gets dumped on a grid, as a scientist). I'm not sure how much it'd save in terms of cash, but you'd need less cooling power for a start.

    The only thing that takes a lot of power is transcoding video, but that should be leaning towards GPU acceleration these days, I think.
    max TDP for a Q6600 was 105W http://ark.intel.com/products/29765/Intel-Core2-Quad-Processor-Q6600-(8M-Cache-2_40-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB)
