Chipset power consumption

OK - here's what I got:

With 1 stick of 1GB Corsair XMS2 (CM2X1024-6400C4)
on ASUS P5W DH Deluxe motherboard (Intel 975X chipset) = 15.5W
and on Biostar P4M900-M7 SE (Via chipset) = 5.4W

Incidently, I'm currently using 1 stick of 2GB Kingston (KVR400D2N3/2G) and, on the Biostar, Sandra reports 6.6W

I've swapped it out with the Corsair, only a couple of times, comparing both with the same settings (PC2-3200 3-3-3-8), but so far I like the sound of the Kingston better.
