my lounge has:

TV
media PC
giga switch
2x routers
smoothwall
wireless access point
NAS

if i could take 5W off each of those... it'd so be worth it. replacing the media PC and smoothwall with two of these would save me decent wattage, whereas replacing with an atom wouldnt.

Replacing the media PC with either would likely save you big watts. However, maybe I'm ignorant of the subject, but wouldn't the smoothwall machine require two NICs to function properly? Making either choice a no go for that application. I guess you could have a USB modem, but those suck...

And while there probably are a very few situations where the power difference would matter, for the most home users it won't, and the faster ION chipset is well worth the minor power difference.

true, it depends if you need the power of ION or not.

I'm one of those people who sees a 10W saving and thinks "awesome, now i want EVERYTHING i have to save 10W" - i jumped on the LED LCD bandwagon real fast for that reason, for example.

(funnily enough, my powerbill has almost halved since i started getting anal about this stuff)
