1 Hi guys!

3 I've just tested the energy consumption of my PC. Aparently Gentoo consumes a
4 quiet a bit more than Windows XP: 213 W compared to 188 W

6 PowerNow is activated and works on both cores (tested). The same hardware is
7 plugged in and works. I'll attach the output of lspci, lsmod and cpuinfo as
8 well as my world-file just in case it's related to some software.

10 Is there anything I've forgotten? Where does my energy go?
