Because of Seti@home running in the background I always have a 100% CPU-load. I guess this is the same principle: keeping your processor at 100% for an extended time. No need for warmup programs, just a resident cruncher and you're on the same track. Switching off Seti@home makes my P4 CPU-temp drop from 47 Celsius to 34 Celcius. I wonder what it means for power consumption; I guess the P4 eats a whole lot more Watts than P3 and older architecture, although I'm not sure. J.
