I'm using an APC Smart-UPS 1400 that is communicating only with my Win95 machine. Using the software, I've been able to determine the following usages: Pentium 133/32MB/512K with 2 or 3 HDs: 4.5% of capacity each (I have 3) Apple PowerMac 8100/100AV/40MB with 1 HD: 7% of capacity Apple 15" Multiscan monitor: 8% of capacity MAG 21" monitor: 11% of capacity Those Pentium numbers indicate that each is using about 40W. --Pete _______________________________________________________________ Peter J.
