[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1414758, member: 56379"] Everything you said is true...my amazement was how many watts the dual cpu PM G5 used while sleeping (24+ watts). Since (in theory) the device is totally powered down (except for the pulsing sleep light)...24+ watts is a lot. Compare this to the 30-35 watts the MBP uses during operation. The Mac Pro (while sleeping) was only consuming around 5 watts. Maybe (for some reason) the PM G5's power supply (by design) isn't totally shut down when sleeping. - Nick [/QUOTE]
