I am not an expert in this field but I can't understand your theory here. If there is less demand for energy doesn't this mean that less energy will be consumed? The way you say is like the power supply always takes the same amount of energy regardless of how much energy the devices of the computer consume and then turns the surplus into heat. That can not be true because I know for a fact that on a laptop you can save energy and make the battery run longer by having your hard drives spinning slower or making your LCD dimmer!
Ignore
GR, you are wright here. The power consumption is P=I x V, so if R (resistance is high) I (current) will be low. Turn off the hard drives then they are using no power, it's as simple as that.
Do you know the difference between an electronics
COMPONENT and an electronic or electro-mechanical
DEVICE?
Therein lies your problem!
Components: Motors, light bulbs, capacitors, resistors, torroids, etc.
Devices: HDD, FDD, DVD player, Memory card reader, etc.
The ACPI (Advanced configuration and power interface) is power saving technology for DEVICES not components!
Now stop posting rubbish!
Stop it your making me laugh at you.
You forgot the most important component the Transistor, how did you forget that. What happened to the power supply, Switched mode in the case of computers.
I do not have any problems apart from you and......
