I was shocked to find my nforce board draws around 130 watts, when it's switched OFF!!!!!!! and with the new graphics card can push upto 700 watts And No, I'm not kidding Needless to say, I now have a multitap with switch on my desk as the power button. p.s. People should be aware that, ARM and atom have met similar ground for speed but they are like risc chips and usually a 500mhz does half the work of a full/non emulated instruction set chip also at 500mhz. Check out atom on wikipedia for more info. Risc chips in phones etc. do even less work per cycle.
