Power consumption

In reply to: Power consumption by nix

I've got S3 enabled in BIOS (I actually rebooted just to look), but I'm curious whether I've got all the proper kernel options set and modules compiled/installed. Sounds like a research project... :-)

Thanks for the replies.

IIRC, S3 is suspend-system-to-RAM, as opposed to the C states, which are just CPU states.
