Don't only think of power saved meaning watts of electricity. It also, by slowing the processor when your system is just 'spinning its wheels', also drops the temp of the CPU, extending its life as well as using less watts. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871 -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
