[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 5429"] Thanks Schmidti, This is my opinion... Before I decided on how to implement the wake-up-feature I searched the web quite well and came across these BIOS timer programs. Since I wanted a simple (well, fairly simple) program to use and configure suitable for most people I went for the way suppoted by windows API though. I've not made any testing regarding power consumption but I doubt you'll find the BIOS timer method using less power than [i]hibernate[/i]. My wild guess is that windows uses the very same BIOS timer. When comparing [i]suspend mode[/i] to [i]hibernate[/i] concerning power consumption there is of cource some difference since suspend mode to some extent keep memory, cpu and fans running. Keep ideas coming! /fred [/QUOTE]
