The PicoPSU is by itself is 80-90% efficient. However, you have to include in the efficiency of the AC-DC brick. The PicoPSU + Brick is around 78-81%.

Atom and Nano are both expected to have dual core versions in the next few months.

this would be a pretty sweet deal for a home-made nas box....

the HP ex470 uses a AM2 mini board with a 3400 sempron so why not..?

I have really been looking into a cheap NAS box so I may just build my own....lol

The EX470 is a Windows Home Server box.

The 1GHz K8 isn't fast enough to feed the data.

Ah. Bummer.

My understanding is that it wasn't fast enough to decrypt the Blu-Ray, nothing to do with playing actual video.

"In spite of the hardware acceleration of the on-board ATI Radeon HD 3200, Blu-ray playback is far from possible. Almost 100% decoding is done by the graphics chip, but the video stream coming from the Blu-ray disk has to be decrypted. Here the Athlon 64 2000+ is in way over its head—it is not possible to use it as a Blu-ray player."

Hmmmm.... that's HDCP decryption?

In the DVD playback test, isn't the codec hardware accelerated as well? If so, 68% CPU utilization is a lot.
