15 W ?
Seems to be very much ? I heard that windows handles acpi better than 
linux, is that true ?
For exemple, my T42 (pentium M 1700, ati 9600, 1400*1050) uses arround 
11W with wifi and medium brithtness, but when idle (no HDD acess, cpu at 
600 Mhz).
What about yours ? I don't have windows to compare :/
Thank you

ps : Have anyone tried to do a windows live-dvd for its thinkpad ? I 
would need it to upgrade bios.
