No, but the cpu cycles required to handle all the overhead do take more power (more memory usually means someone is using it, otherwise it really is bloatware), and yes its the cpu that is causing the power consumption (and even if you do use accelerated graphics to reduce cpu work, then it would be the graphics card that takes to power, and newer laptop graphic chips can also scale power consumption according to usage) > -- > Steve C.
