I was startled when I bought a power meter to find that my computers and even some monitors consume power when switched off. I don't mean "soft" off - even with the mechanical switch in the off position they still consume significant power. My AMD box consumes about 15W of power when the mechanical switch on its power supply is off. About 35W when the mechanical switch is on but the computer is in the "soft off" state (i.e. what you get when you ask it to turn itself off). -- Jamie - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
