[QUOTE="ziphnor, post: 82604, member: 14215"] I dont think away mode is that interesting, i would be more interested in super fast resume from hibernation, but maybe that is part of Quick Resume? I have been considering buying a motherboard supporting Quick Resume(or AMDs Live! equivalent to VIIV) when i upgrade my HTPC, but its hard to tell whether its actually useful or not. EDIT: From reading [url=http://www.intel.com/support/entertainment/viiv/sb/cs-021742.htm] it sounds like it just shuts down the video and sound output but fans and CPU etc stay on. It doesnt sound that useful to me, i would think that it still used to much power to be on like this for 24/7. In hibernate/completely off my HTPC uses 0.5W, in S4 it uses 7.5W. I strongly doubt that Away Mode can bring the power usage to those levels.[/url] [/QUOTE]
