Don't worry though, it's fine for crunching. Yeah I just looked it up too... But if he says it overheats after 8 minutes, I wouldn't say its fine for crunching... -- Crunch for Team Discovery!

Value priced laptops usually use regular desktop Pentium 4 Processors, which use higher voltage, and have no SpeedStep functions, they produce WAY more heat. Post the exact model & part # of your laptop and I can look into it for ya... compaq presario 1525us Series PP2140 it cost $1,800 Thanks! -Kyle -- Check out my website: www.KyleCoburn.com Outlook Users: STOP SPAM with www.SpamNet.com :: Why arent you curing cancer?

Kyle, running UD on your laptop is no different than if you were rendering something in 3DSMax for a couple hours, CPU usage is still 100%. My IBM Thinkpad 1GHz has had no problems running UD 24/7 for the past year... Something must be wrong with it, if it cannot handle even 8 minutes at full CPU load... -- Crunch for Team Discovery!

KyleC Nikon Guy Premium join:2001-12-13 Dallas, TX ·AT&T Southwest	reply to KyleC Well it overheated my laptop after 8 min, and it shut itself down. I think this is due to the intel 2.4ghz-M, and it power manegment, it isnt made to be pegged at 100% utilization. Its the fastest Mobile processor on the market. I dont think these laptops are made for this. oh well, I had to uninstall UD. -Kyle -- Check out my website: www.KyleCoburn.com Outlook Users: STOP SPAM with www.SpamNet.com :: Why arent you curing cancer?

HiVolt 30 Premium join:2000-12-28 Toronto, ON clubs: ·TekSavvy Solutions.. ·Bell Sympatico	reply to BliZZardX Some laptops can actually be damaged if you run it without the battery... My friend's laptop had its power supply burned out because there was no load on the battery like there usually was... He was told that if he wanted to run without a battery, that he needed a "Weight Saver" device, which had circuitry inside to prevent any damage, but weighed next to nothing. -- Crunch for Team Discovery!
