Almost half the wattage of a 6 core i5       doing the same job(s). Also I have it mounted on the back of the 4k monitor       so it isn't taking up any additional real estate on my physical desktop. It       is more than a lttle cramped to say the least. So far I think it is worth it       other than the fact that a 24" 1080p would have been just as good and       cheaper. I must admit I really like what I see so far.               BP> i like to say get a hdmi monitor at 4k or even 8k without any        BP> tuner at all              Agreed. That is what I have now except 28" which is as small as it gets as       far as regular desktop systems are concerned.               BP> * x11-libs/libfakeXinerama        BP> dont know if this is at any help for the penguins ?              Not for the boot penguins. Anyhow I have it working now using a efi capable       grub. I still haven't heard any alternative solutions.              Bottomline is that in order to get all 16 penguins on bootup, the minimum       resolution is 1080p. You will lose 3 penguins at 720p. At 4k there is room       for exactly 30 penguins. I am guessing 60 on an 8k monitor. You tell me.              Life is good,       Maurice              ...
