Hi guys,
Is there a consensus as to what version runs best on Pentium M? My recent benchmarks with 23.8 and 24.6 are roughly the same, with 24.6 being slightly faster with some FFT sizes and 23.8 being slightly faster with other sizes.
Related question: supposedly the Pentium M is much cooler than previous Intel CPUs even when running under load. Is the difference significant enough that I can run Prime95 full-time when my machine is in the docking station? I had originally planned only on running it for experimental purposes, but if the hardware can handle it, I will let it go full time since my machine spends most of it's time in the dock. FWIW, this is a HP nc6000 1.7GHz machine.
IMHO, any computer that can't run at full speed 24/7 is badly engineered. that would be like a car that couldn't sustain freeway speeds without overheating...
that said, many laptops have cooling problems brought upon by their compact size.
If this one seems to work, let it rip. its got a warranty, doesn't it? no software should violate any such warranty (I just can see a computer manufacturer trying to claim their computers weren't designed to actually compute, heh).
