But WHA#Y should I pay 100 Euro for a CPU if a 32Bit Sempron with
2400MHz wil do the job twice?  And, Mainboards for 64Bit CPUs are
three times more expensive

So WHY ahould I buy Oversized mainboard+64Bit-cpu+memory+Graphiccard
for over 200 Euro IF I do not need it?

AND, since I need my computer 24/7 and CAN NOT SWITCH into Power-Save
mode I wo not want to pay per day 0.82 Euro electricity for it.

Please note, that I have more then one Server/Workstation @home and
I pay already for my computers 280 Euro elektricity per month.

On the other side, I will leafe in short France and then i will have
NO access to Electricity except a bunch (~42) of photovoltaik panels
of 75W and a 4kW Bio-Fuel-Generator

Currently I am switching my Workststions to arm9 but having problems
getting external Graphiccards or SBC's based on arm/mips with graphic
on board.
