Sun Brings up a Valid Point
The most expensive hall at CeBIT is Hall 2, home of companies such as Sun Microsystems and IBM. We strolled by Sun's booth and saw this interesting demo:
On the left we've got a rack of Niagara 2 servers, on the right a rack of 4-year old Intel Xeon servers (16 CPUs total). Both systems are at idle and the difference in power consumption is tremendous: 180W for the Sun rack and nearly 1100W for the NetBurst Xeon rack.
Obviously the comparison would be far less skewed if we looked at Core 2 based products but the point is still valid: these old NetBurst based servers are power hogs and upgrading them would definitely help reduce datacenter power bills. Despite the Pentium 4's NetBurst architecture being our least favorite Intel creation, it still sold very well and these old Xeons continue to litter datacenters today.
Whether you replace them with Core 2 based Xeons or Niagara 2 based products, you'll still end up significantly reducing your power bill.

The ASUS R50 reminds me of a Game Gear. The R70 looks like a big Game Gear.foodfightr - Thursday, March 13, 2008 - link
I think the only question I have is: "Who is the hottie in the icon and where can I find more pics?"Haha.

There is no way that proc is the bottleneck on Vista. The device must have 1GB RAM which is the problem. Vista runs FINE on a Samsung Q1 with its lowly 900Mhz Pentium M... *as long as you have 2GB RAM*If OEMs want to build Vista devices, they need to ship them with 2GB RAM.

That has to be the most complete mini-ITX motherboard to date.G45 chipset, dual DVI out, 6x USB port, and eSATA ?! Wow. Hopefully it also takes 2GB dimms ?
