Compared to my Athlon 3000 which is running over 200 watts, but doing only about a tenth of the work in it's folding at home client. A 200 watt power supply is about the minimum you will get in a low end PC these days, so it's not really "considerable power" for the huge amount of number crunching you are doing. That's one of the reasons Cell processors are attractive for clustering, more bang per watt. P.S. My Athlon actually has a 400 watt power supply, but it could probably get away with 300 when all parts of it are running hard.
