Subject: Notebook processor heating

Author: Mark Dambrink

I'm a first timer here so I don't know if this topic already passed the forum.
The moment my chessprograms start thinking for their next move, the processor of
my notebook starts heating up quickly and the cooling-fan of my notebook realy
starts blowing hard, building up the noise level close to a level that my
neighbours must think i'm vacuming the house.
I remember reading something concerning downgrading your processor could add to
a cooler chip. Could adding more memory be an option?

The notebook is a P4 2,0 Ghz. 256 Mb. running Windows XP.
Software is Arena with different engines and Chessmaster 9000.
I'm thinking of buying Fritz 8 soon but i'm afraid this will involve even more
number crunching.
Has anyone some ideas on this "hot" topic?

Greetings, Mark.
