I don't necessarily need to see real time plots or anything but as I understand it if you attach a USB device it gets like 100 mA then after some negotiation it will bump the power up to 300 mA or 500 mA so on and so forth till the device stops requesting.

I compiled an 64bit binary of ioquake3 and an SDL binary to go along with it and I noticed on Windows 7 64bit, operation, while relatively stable, it doesn't have top notch performance.
