SupportSoft’s Support.com has made greening your computer easier with Green Your PC, a fresh application that makes energy efficiency nearly automatic. This application provides either instructions on how you can configure your computer settings for energy saving levels, or the app sets these configurations for you so you don’t have to.
In a quote in Scientific American, Support.com's Chief Operating Officer Anthony Rodio says, "We're doing something that the majority of users don't know how to or don't think to do on their own."
If 100,000 computers and monitors reduced electricity use to the level set by the "Green Your PC" app, it would save more than 11 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions annually (roughly the same as emissions from burning 13,000 barrels of oil). All of this comes from tweaking a few PC settings.
Download the application and begin reducing your climate impact through Facebook.

When I think about Green PCs, I'm usually reminded of a company called Userful. I've used their software and it's great stuff. They just recently set a world record in Brazil delivering over 365,000 desktops. If you guys are really into green computing, check them out: http://www.userful.com
