I had relegated my previous 'main' pc to a W7 server (shows & movies & SABNZDB & SickBear & Ember). It runs 24/7.
It has an AMD Phenom X3 8450 (95W) on a Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H board.
I want to reduce energy consumption, but don't want to do it, if it makes no financial sense. ( purchase cost / performance)
I would be changing it for an AMD Sempron 140 Sargas on the same board.
I currently run 3 drives on it.
The Sempron chip is only $38, so it is not a big cost. Will the performance suffer much ?
