Heh, sounds like a rather difficult way to measure power usage, yes over 99.9% of the power is dissipated into the immediate environment. I'd suggest http://tinyurl.com/43c5w. Then try to as similar a configuration as possible so you can measure the difference in cpu usage. -- Bill Broadley Computational Science and Engineering UC Davis _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
