Hello,
Yesterday, a friend of mine mentioned that he is using some win98
program that "cools" his cpu and that it drops his temperature by 6
degrees when idle. I assume it issues a 'hlt' instruction or something
similar. The interesting thing is that the program's help file said
something like "this program is not needed on winNT and many non-windows
OSs because they have this functionality built into them".
To me it sounds like Linux might have it buils into the kernel. How can
I verify this (short of rummaging through the kernel source) and does
anyone know for certain?
Thanks
Arun
