_______________
The Digital Home experiment has been going on for quite some time now, even Intel tried this with its Pentium D line. While Digital Home is a great idea, it simply wasn’t feasible with processors of the day. Intel’s Pentium D line simply consumed too much power and produced far too much heat to even be in the running for a Media Center PC and AMD’s K8 needed a better chipset than what was on the market. Given AMD does use a lot less power than that of the Pentium D, it still chews up too much power to really sit in a 24/7 PC.
