You (more than likely) won't notice any slowdown from it, but what you *will* more than likely notice (at least something I noticed with my systems) is a heat increase. Most modern processors scale back their operation when they don't have data to crunch, thus generating less heat. However, run them at 100% load all the time, and you'll (more than likely) see an increase in dissapated heat. It was enough of an effect to get me to stop doing such things. Though, if you can handle the heat (no pun intended :-) ), [EMAIL PROTECTED] is, in my opinion at least, an excellent project to support. -- Peter Snoblin - http://entropicaccess.net/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- To get off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe -----------------------------------------------------------------
