    6 annoying things (and 3 great ones) about Asus' ultraportable
    Like many gearheads, I've owned a lot of portable computers over the years -- and I've wanted to replace every last one with a smaller, sleeker upgrade, from the "luggable" Apple IIc onward. But most of those upgrades have left me disappointed: with the lack of software; with cheap, hard-to-use interfaces; and with "optional" add-ons that were in fact very much necessary to make the machine useful.

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has introduced low-power HE versions of its 2.2GHz Opteron model 148, 248, and 848 processors.

The new processors each consume about 55 watts (W) of power, compared with about 87W for the standard versions of the chips.

The first model to ship, the 248 HE was designed for single- and dual-processor systems like blade servers or network appliances, director of server & workstation marketing with AMD, Patrick Patla, said.

The 848 HE, designed for four-processor servers, would ship in May, while a uni-processor 148 HE was expected in June, Patla said.

AMD also makes low-frequency EE Opteron processors that consume about 30W of power.
