Chisoxfn Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 It doesn't use much any if you have an energy star computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiff Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 most of them are energy star, like when you choose your screen saver it gives you those power options underneath to shut off your monitor and hard drive after a certain length of idle time. stand by and hibernate probably use minimal amounts of power if you wanna still keep it on.

Oh, ok..yeah..I have it set to turn off my monitor after 5 minutes when not in use...especially when I'm listening to my radio show on the computer..
