This is not the right way. The time with the methode for broken bios without 
current rate is over a timeintervall. The current rate from a correct working 
bios is in the most cases for the _actuall_ current rate, not over a time 
intervall. You can't say which one is 'more' correct.

If the bios support current rate calculate with them and not with the other 
over a (unknown) time intervall averaged value.
