FreeBSD, Linux, and other OSs that expect the system to be running stable 24/7 use the HLT instruction on x86 CPUs to save power and keep the processor cool. This is only possible in Windows 98 by using a 3rd party utility like "Rain". I run a Celeron 300A overclocked to 464MHz (also running at 2.4V) and as you can imagine, keeping the processor as cool as possible is a high priority! If you're running Windows 98 and running into overheating problems, I *highly* recommend you use Rain (or something similar) to assist with stability. > Eric -jake (obituary) c9710216@atlas.newcastle.edu.au -- Powered by FreeBSD http://www.freebsd.org FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT #0: Fri May 7 16:36:14 EST 1999 root@carcass.death.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/CARCASS i386 -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
