There are several ways to measure.
The easiest: Grab a meter to plug into the outlet like this http://www.dealbattle.de/images/img_158.jpg
That's how I measured my Eee and Efika.
More advanced (if you want to get rid of the PSU loss): Either use a normal multimeter and plg it between your device and psu and just measure the current. Or If you don't want to mess around with the real current you may measure the inductio by usig a device like this: http://www.famberg.de/php_images/tumb.pimg?id=3116&b=350&h=300
But if you want to measure in-circuit currents it gets more complicated...

Don't mix numbers of different Ato processors. Netbooks usually use the N270 which is really low power (when downstepped). The currently used northbridges are bad, but Intel announced new ones for late this year. competition gets closer, but ppc and ARM still are very competetive.

Whenever you're sad just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie.
