Power Usage
- Usage of i5 Processor is far more efficiency compare with Pentium 4 Processor.
- However graphic card is just an optional but not compulsory, due to the requirement of Graphic Design's student the setting of graphic card is necessary.
- Mouse and keyboard only consume as much as 0.0015 Ampere and 0.005 Ampere respectively, hence it does not consider as the main power consumption.
- Assuming the other part such as PSU and hard-disk drive was constant for both specification, the only part affecting the main power consumption will the above.

System idle power factor
- According to the pie chart above, obviously the keyboard, mouse, and processor fan consume less energy while the PC is in idle status, which is 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.4% respectively.
- Meanwhile the memory of PC and optical drive occupied 2.1% and 2.9% simultaneously. While in the other hand, the hard drives takes up 10.7% of the overall power consumption while the processor is 14.5%.
- Obviously the motherboard (Contain graphic card, sound card, RAM etc) consume the much in the state which is 33.3% and follow by PSU power loss (20.3%), processor VR Power Loss 15.5%.
