I have done some tests proving that it just can't be true. With Linux (2.2.15) I got a cpu temperature of 31 degrees celsius and with FreeBSD I got 47 degrees celcius, the tests where done on the same computer at idle state. Do I have to activate the HLT instruction on FreeBSD or something? The system I tested temperatures on was an Abit BP6 with dual celeron 500MHz cpu's. I tested the temperatures with a regular thermometer since I've never really trusted those built in sensors. ;) /Johan _________________________________________________________ En adress för livet registrerar du på http://www.home.se/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
