Has he used a 64bit program? Using only 32bit software (only half the CPU :-) may lead to much lower power consuption. I you have to prove the point, get the XP x64 test version and run a 64bit version of GPG for windows. I hope such a think exists, since XP x64 is still very much in its infancy. Thomas
