True. My old puter, AMD 2500+ with 3GBs of memory, pulled at least |
| 19 |
double if not more than my current 4 core AMD with 16GBs of ram. I'm |
| 20 |
not sure this new one has anything "green" on it but it is less power |
| 21 |
hungry. My old also helped heat my old room. It had to be pretty cold |
| 22 |
outside for me to turn the heat on. |

My dryer tho, it's about 25 years old. I think it pulls around 4500 |
| 25 |
watts normally. Considering I have retired the heating element at least |
| 26 |
5 or 6 times, it may pull a little more than that now. I might add, it |
| 27 |
takes longer to dry clothes tho. I fear the day I can't tie that |
| 28 |
element back together. I doubt I will ever find a element for that old |
| 29 |
thing. I may have to get some new line for my old fashioned clothes |
| 30 |
dryer. You know, two trees with a wire between them. A tree limb broke |
| 31 |
my old one. |
