FWIW, I have a dual Athlon MP 1800+ server which consumes an additional
37W from 201W when it's running CPDN, according to the UPS load
monitor.

The load can vary between the several BOINC applications, but I would
expect the power used by each of them to be very similar.

Hmmm - this is the kind of thing that worries me slightly as our UPS 
supply is limited (as anyones is).  If the UPS doesn't last as long 
because I'm running SETI on 6 of our servers then I wouldn't be too 
popular!  I'm not sure if the hardware/OS I use will have this increase 
in power though.
