The power settings determine how long your PC should wait before turning off the display, powering down your hard drive, and suspending your computer. After you set your preferences, Edison also estimates your yearly savings in terms of money, energy, and CO2 emissions.
Edison is freeware, requires .NET 2.0 and an email address for registration. If Edison's whopping 45MB memory footprint is too high for your tastes, check out previously mentioned LocalCooling. For more green PC tips, try our best tips for going green with your PC.
Yeah but I think Edison looks a lot easier and convenient, I didn`t think the windows version that came with your computer had a schedule.
The app is pretty handy for saving money on electricity bills, but this whole "Greener Environment" stuff is all BS from corporations trying to sell yoou stuff by fear and manipulation. Dem dere scientists say you need our products or um ....... bad.....stuff will happen to everyone. If governments really wanted to lower CO2 emmissions then they put the big companies under the hammer, but they won't because thats capitalism for you. (These are just my vies on this certain topic) Sorry to go off on a tangent :)
its a nice app, but dont think its very practical for the average gamer if its based on a schedule system, as ppl play games at random intervals for which you couldn't really base a schedule around unless you absolutely know your not really gonna be doing much on the computer at a particular time, for which you could just turn the thing off, unless your downloading something which wont be zapping much power anyway if u turn the monitor off ect... and graphics cards dont zapp up all those watts they need unless their under load anyway.... hence fluxurations in temperatures under load and just sitting in windows
