What is a VRD ?
A Voltage Regulator Down (VRD) is an electrical reglator designed to atuomatically maintain a constant voltage level for the CPU.  

Green Ethernet

Green Ethernet is a technology that features lower power consumption than traditional Ethernet controllers by adjusting power amplitudes according to different network cable lengths. This allows lower energy loss while the system is either active or idle, without sacrificing the quality of the network connections.
