The men in white coats have come to help us answer a long-standing green IT question: are black websites really greener than white ones?
The latest edition of video series Dialogue Box from our sister site, ZDNet.co.uk, investigates the dilemma. With their handy digital multimeter to measure wattage, Charles and Rupert compare the energy consumption of a white site like Google to a black site like CNET TV.
But there's more to it than that. They pulled an old cathode ray tube computer monitor out of the basement and tried it next to the snazzy modern LCD monitors most of us use today. With different technology, as you might guess, the amount of power consumed and the way it's consumed is quite different.
Meaning that the answer to the green website question is not exactly black and white. Check out the Dialogue Box video to see what Charles and Rupert uncovered.
