Hi, Interesting idea to run for a long time. My numbers get bad enough even in a short time. I've installed the patched .ko for Ubuntu 6.06 smi and that improved things greatly. However, I'm still getting realtime messages. Can someone point me to a checklist of other things to suppress and how to do it? Many thanks in advance.
