i have been using cpuidle for just 1 hour and the difference is amazing.

the old temperatures were any where from 34,34,44 to 40,42,51

but now they are rock solid at 27,27,32,

its bloody incredible.
i just need a crack if anyone can find 1 for the latest version for xp.

also put it on my laptop (p4 2.66ghz), got nearly 2 hours from 60% battery while playing games (put it on this morning at uni). and my athlon xp3000 is down from 35c to 30c.

winXP sends HLT command by itself, as I recall...

Yes, it does. So do Win2K, NT4, and Linux. BeOS doesn't by default on SMP systems but it's really easy to enable. The moral of the story is: run a real OS!

not to disparage the great cpuidle, but I crunch seti
ergo, it's a waste of space

CPUidle is great but if your cooling can't handle a full load then you still have a problem
oh yeah HLT commands are all used in current OSes

i use my bp6 as a proxy net server and firewall so it hardly does any work. so the software really helps keep temps down

it only gets a work out when i go to a lan party and play counter strike with it,

just played halflife with cpuidle running and the temps only go up to 32,32,37

Same here.
