Sometime today I will turn off i8k and let you know of the behavior. I don't remember the default because I scourer the internet for howtos before I install debian on any laptop to look for pit falls before I start. So, right from day one, I just went and got i8kutils. Besides with a low (wow, how far we have come!) level cpu like this, why run amd64? I would gain nothing, can't even run vms with vitalization turned on. I would get Geek points, and that IS worth thinking about..........On 30/04/2008, Damon L.

The CPU temperature went up to 70C, and then came back down to 40C after I halted the silly computation. Hm, but the fan seems to be blowing all the time, except when I just turn on the machine after it's been in a cool place and off for a long time. Or should it blow harder when I do computations? I didn't notice a change. - Jordi G. H.
