[QUOTE="Murlyn, post: 8417, member: 184"] Yeah when asleep it's practically shutdown.. it does still require energy, not much though, like Padawan said.. I wouldnt worry about it too much. BUT, a big BUT :) There are still problems with applications not releasing the memory they used completely.. So if you do not restart after awhile you computer will begin to slow down as your memory is being used by applications not running anymore.. I can't remember where I read this, but Ill see if I can find anything on it. Hmmm.. i cant seem to find it.. can anyone else confirm this? [/QUOTE]
