You might *think* it runs cool if the thermal conductivity system (heat pipes and sink) is working correctly. Referring to my master cpu chart, the Core Duo runs at a core temp of 90°C, or 1.54x that of a dual core PowerPC G5 who's max core temp is 58°C, and 2.04x that of a G4/7447A who's max core temp is 44°C. "Power per watt" really means the ability to fry more eggs and bacon on the same power consumption. The GPU in the PowerBook runs approx 2x as hot as the G4 CPU. -- Chris ------------------------- PGP Key: http://astcomm.net/~chris/PGP_Public_Key/ -------------------------
