Default Mac Mini Power Consumption

On the power consumption - I read through the article you referenced and it appeared this was just for the mini and did not include a monitor. What your post said (and the article) works out to about 1 ah at idle and 2+ ah running. What do you think your consumption would be with a small monitor? My biggest disappointment in using a computer onboard has been the power consumption. My Macbook seems to draw upwards of 4 ah much of the time, making the potentially the biggest power draw on my boat (more than my refer). That alone has pushed me away from using it for ongoing navigation, and instead more for planning. I'm trying to keep my total 'cruising' power usage at or under 100 ah/day.

I think I have an intel desktop motherboard D101GGC. It came with an emachines w3502 desktop computer. Does this motherboard support dual core processors? Is LGA775 and 800 or 533mgz FSB all I need to know to see if the motherboard supports the processor? I'm not good with computers so I don't know what these terms mean.
