I hate to give such a non-answer, but the power consumption is so highly determined by your usage pattern that you really can't do anything but try it and measure using a very low impedance meter. When running block-moves you'll probably see around 2watts per actively accessed chip. Fedora just sitting around will consume quite a bit less. The power will probably be dominated by the termination resistors of ~150mw per chip, which will be your ultimate lower bound. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.
