Last year we had taken an in-depth look at ATI's PowerPlay
technology upon the support within the Linux fglrx display drivers. Now
that Fedora Core 5 has been out for some time, and there have been quite
a few monthly releases since that point, we are now back today as we
re-examine ATI's PowerPlay using once again the Mobility RADEON X300. In
this examination, we will also be using additional benchmarks beyond
what was done in our original benchmarking fiesta, and we will be
examining its power consumption when using the AC adapter and simply not
the battery. Continue as we examine this technology once more, and get a
better understanding if this implementation is for all mobile users..
