I need to ask -- do you step down the CPU's speed (known as
``speedstepping'', in the Pentium M world)?
If not, that might remedy it: Windows XP does this per default, and that
would cause the processor to have a lot of time to cool in.
By the way, at what wattage does that machine run? My girlfriend's I1300
sits at 23-26W -- I was impressed.
