Just be glad it's not a top of the range G5, now that's power hungry.

Saying that I do have a G4 400 Gigabit Ethernet and a MDD 1.2ghz dual, no real need for them just got them cheap and thought they would be fun to play with.

Does seem funny that my laptop is much more powerful yet the TOTAL power consumption at absolute maximum load, even with the battery charging and all USB ports in use is 45W!
