On notebook computers with no load I see temperatures (with the command acpi -V) as follows: pentium 4m 1.9 GHz: 45 deg C pentium-m 2 GHz : 41 deg C turion64 MT-40 2.2 GHz: 50 deg C Under load these cpus can heat up far above 60 deg C. -- Regards, Jörg-Volker. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
