I have run at over 99% for about 36hours... ran jack the ripper or some
such tool on a server I was admining over a weekend just to see for myself
how easy it was to crack passwds! (switched over to shadow passwords
immediately after I saw the fantastic results!)
This was in 1998 and it was a PPro233 and there was no problems... but
dunno about the heat issues in a p3 ! I have a p3-733 and don't think I've
used it to full capability except when compiling the kernel and maybe
during q3 !
