PowerTOP -- Saving Power With Intel

PowerTOP is a new open-source Linux utility available from Intel, which analyzes how well your laptop computer stacks up for power savings. In fact, PowerTOP will even provide which applications are consuming the most power and thus draining your battery. This tool will hopefully allow developers to optimize their applications for maximum power savings. Intel's PowerTOP works best using the Linux 2.6.21 kernel or later due to the tickless kernel feature. More information is available from this Intel website.
