Tom, how did you pull off these figures? I don't have anything external to look at either.
I used
iStat menus. It reads power consumption from the system somehow, though...
That's a heck of a lot of power consumption. VERY high.
Are you sure about those figures?
No idea. I'm just using software that claims to be querying the monitoring hardware, instead of using an external device to confirm. FBDIMM modules I have heard are pretty power hungry though even when idle. The newer Mac Pros should do better having DDR3 modules in them.
