As a real world figure: my quad G5 routinely runs at near full tilt when building TenFourFox. At Highest Performance, 2 7200rpm SATA drives, 7800GT video card and two USB-FW expansion cards, it pulls around 300-400W. Lightly loaded, as I type this message in Reduced, the power supply meter says it is drawing 230W. They are not cheap to run in packs. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- Everyone is entitled to my opinion. -- James Carpenter --------------------- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
