Hello Harold,

first of all, I have noticed, that the temperature measurement isn't quite
reliable. The MOBO manufacturers don't spend much affort in precision
regarding that feature. Second, there is a program called CPU-Idle which
takes advantage off an (in Win95) unused CPU command to suspend the CPU.
This won't effect the CPU performance but helps to keep the temperature low.
I have a PII 333 MHz that I run now with 400 MHz and 100 MHz FSB. With
CPU-Idle my temperature has dropped 10 degrees centigrade.

You can find the program at
