key benefits to spice is that it allows for some local rendering of
graphics. If you don't have any local hardware capable of doing the fancy
math required to render the graphics locally, then you might as well not us=
e
spice.
Also, even though the Power Supply on this package is 250W, it should draw
only ~50W during operation (based on the board). You can cut that down to
~25-27W with an Nvidia ION board (but the initial cost is higher). I
understand both of these draw way more than ~5W, but you get the graphics
processing power you need to make spice really shine. It's hard to put any
real graphics rendering capability in a 5W machine.
