Desktops? Screw desktops. (Unless of course you're one of those environmental friendly guys, but then you probably are simply too cheap to buy a SUV too!) But rather think "data center". Those guys want maximum cycles per watt. One way of getting there is using less watts when we don't use all cycles. This bring down power consumption, which directly brings down heat production, which brings down A/C needs. Everyone wants to save power. -- High Availability & Clustering SUSE Labs, Research and Development SUSE LINUX Products GmbH - A Novell Business -- Charles Darwin "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge" - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
