@Frozenrubber: don't forget, the new 65nm chips cut the power consumption by almost a half -- the quoted figures are 125W instead of 200W. Your point still stands, though: would ~$100/yr donated to a research foundation do more to advance the cause than a year's worth of CPU cycles? I can't really answer that...
