For example, the 333 MHz G3 in my PowerBook 1400 will usually report it is running at some 64 degrees Celsius, while the 450 MHz G4 Cube will claim to be at 20 degrees, the room temperature being a degree or two above that notwithstanding. > No one knows what the limits are on PPC chips, as neither IBM nor Motorola > publish them. It's clear from their tech manuals that 50C is not excessive. Recommended junction temperature is 0 to 105 degrees Celsius. ,xtG .tsooJ -- Joost van de Griek http://www.jvdg.net/ -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
