With Debian Woody they ran at <40C, which is impressing IMHO. An upgrade to Sarge raised the temp for about 5K, which is still very cool. This temperature didn't change when I upgraded to an early 2.6 kernel. Just after 2.6.3-mm4 there was this jump for 10K that I just do not understand. It doesn't hurt the athlons but seems unnecessary to me. -jo -- -rw-r--r-- 1 jo users 80 2004-04-06 18:59 /home/jo/.signature - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
