Saving power with vcool. (Score 1)

One of the best ways to cut down power and cpu heat at the same time is something like Vcool. It works for windows and they have a linux kernel patch to do the same thing. The only problem I have is this wintv will lock the chipset unless it is set to dib draw mode.

Also, for God's sake do not run distributed.net, seti@home, etc.. if you are trying to save power... My 500mhz k6-2 system draws twice the power with distributed.net on than while it is sitting idle.
