The CPU is: processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 2 model name : Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.80GHz stepping : 9 cpu MHz : 2791.511 cache size : 128 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe cid xtpr bogomips : 5586.96 > > Tzafrir Cohen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > | > Tzafrir Cohen: > | > > Aug 21 00:02:40 localhost kernel: Critical temperature reached (73 > > After all what i've read 73 is not too much, anyway... i'd lookup the > machines > tech manual to verify it can't permanently tolerate 75° or even more. > (Cooking your eggs isn't that funny though ;) > But the preferred way to go would be cooling, if possible. > > > ps.
