For Earth Day, Cameron Butterfield has written in with a pointer to his article on how to get your Windows PC into S3 sleep, and why you want to. It covers the question of how to take advantage of this extremely low-power mode even when your machine is an "always on" file server, remote desktop, or VNC server.

  1. Video drivers seem very sloppy. by Futurepower(R) · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Video hardware may be quite advanced, but video software, in my experience, is amazingly primitive. My experience is that nVidia video driver and video adapter control software is extremely sloppy. For example see: Problem: Wrong display on boot with new driver. The link is to the Google cache version.

    A good source for help with nVidia video adapters is Laptop Video 2 Go. The site is down now, and will be back soon, it says.
