Watts Up with a Gaming PC? |

Here’s the latest installment in The Green Lounge’s ‘Watts Up’ series of videos. This time around we used the Watt Up power meter to measure how much electricity it takes to run a high-end gaming computer.
We borrowed a PC (many thanks to Stew over at TechnoVoyance) running a 3.2GHz AMD Athlon X2 6400+ processor, 2GB DDRII memory and an Nvidia 8800 GT graphics card with its own 512 MB of dedicated memory.
Take a look at the video for the results. Not surprisingly, it had a peak power draw higher than anything we’ve measure so far, although what was interesting was the idle power – still high at around 100watts, but not as high as the average PC we tested a couple of weeks ago. Looks like the new advances in processor technology really are making a difference to power consumption…
You’ll also notice a new section on the left-hand side bar. The ‘Watts Up?’ section is the new home for all the Watts Up videos and will hopefully grow into a decently sized green computing resource for consumers and businesses.

All well and good except when you realize that with an all-out "green" system like the artigo you'll never even have the option to comfortably run any of the newer games.
