NT OS's use HLT instruction if ACPI is enabled and OS is using it.. If your PC is "Standard PC", it won't cool down without 3rd party apps.Originally posted by Soul Harvester
the "cooling" feature of programs like CPUCOOL, Vcool, etc, aren't needed in Win2k/XP/NT as those OS have their own halt/idle process. Win9x (ME is a 9x OS) does not have that and therefore the processor is considered to be in 100% usage at all times.
But you don't really need that in 2k/XP/NT/et cetera.
