Interesting theory, I had never considered higher clock frequency would
make that big difference in power use. Of course I haven't measured the
real use, only read what the label says (maximum effect).

For that matter, does the Commodore 128 draw significantly much more
power than a C64C, or had technology improved by then so it was possible
to run a 6502 system faster without making a dent on the electricity bill?
