Hello people, long time and I have been kept busy with loads of work.
Recently I am planning to purchase a new system and idea overflow is natural to me, so here it is what I thought of…
Computer parts should be able to shut themselves on/off based on requirement to conserve energy. In this age of Global warming one must think and think faster than time to conserve energy. If I have a relatively high-end system that requires ~650 Watts to power CPU, Graphics Card, HDD etc. etc. then why not I should be allowed to cut down on power when I do not require some part’s functionality. For an example if I am not playing games or if I am not working on application that is GC intensive, I should be able to ‘plug-off’ the power to it and still be able to work with a ‘converted low-end system’. This is no big deal, we have seen things with which we can do this, and there we have products like external HDDs which can be unplugged when not required thus contributing to the cause of saving energy. Parts like GCs are power hungry and we do not use them every time we use the system, like while surfing Internet at least not in current days scenario. We have power saving features in monitors, LCD which I am not getting into, those are external to the system.
Some of you might argue that why go for such high-end solutions when you can live without it. Well do you really think that would solve the problem??
