For the processors go to ibm.com and/or motorola now known as freescale.com and navigate your way to processors and download the data sheet for the part. I It used to be when evaluating power requirements for a processor the data sheet would give a maximum value for current (amps). Today, it depends on what the processor is doing. If the processor is executing instructions internally it uses significantly less power than when going out on the bus and reading or writing RAM, writing to video or PCI, etc. Power requirements must be calculated by estimating percentages of the various operations and looking them all up on a data sheet and blah blah blah. There is no exact number today. If you're doing word processing and surfing the web you're using less power than someone doing pro audio/video or other intensive computing. r -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
