Hyperthreading versus temperature by
Ikke
Hi everybody,

effect on it's operating temperature?
I'd figure that turning it off would decrease the operating temperature,
since it could only handle one task at once. On the other hand, the would
work double as hard on...

turn on Vista USB power by
Phlip
Newsgroupies:
I want to recharge a cell phone on a USB cable, but the battery is flat.
With the Linux drivers, the USB power would be hot, and the phone would just
start juicing.
How do I convince Vista to turn on the power - to _see_ if something is on its
USB wire??

I had 3 x 128mb PC133 SDRAM.
