hi mike,
Turning off monitor, i have been doing this for 7 years to save power.
Today most of the system devices have power save feature for ex my
AMD-3000+ has cool-n-quiet support in which processor runs at low cpu
frequency & voltage to save power and also to avoid excessive heat.
Likewise i like to know any other devices can be put in power save
mode.
regards,
vasanth
