    OOPS, so sorry SH.:blush:

    It was all going so well too!:D

    Incidently, physics is also something I very much like, and its probably a wise move given that the IT sector is definitely not the place to be right now. That is, not if you aim to find work of any kind.

    I think I'll stop there now, before I dig myself into another, even deeper hole.:D

    PS: Maybe you should consider changing your sig, as many might now mistakenly think you are gay (hehe :grinthumb).

    Yeah heh... most people are amazed at how quickly I burn through hardware... I roast probably two boards a week. I'm probably about to roast another... this tbird is running at 66 C when idle. Oh well, it will just give me an excuse to buy an AXP.

    Cooling software for Linux

    hey guys, the thing is that i have windows XP and Linux, in Windows i got a software called Cooler XP and it really lowers the CPU temperature a great deal, but in Linux i dont have anything like it. so i was wondering if any of you know a software like this for Linux (red hat 8.0)

    Here is an extract taken from www.wincooler.com ...
    This seems to imply that you don't require a software cooler, and merely need to enable all the power saving features of your OS to cool your cpu.

    HLT instruction can be added to APM when configuring the kernel, at least. I'm not sure about ACPI, maybe it has it too. If you can monitor your CPU temperature in Linux, you'll notice if it's working or not.
