Hello!
I am attempting to install ACPI on my new Compaq EVo n610c. But now, I am
hesitating, because I read articles like "Linux on n610c" which said, that
you should disable ACPI, because otherwise the fan would stop and you run
into serious problems.
Well, is it dangerous if I install a 2.6 kernel with acpi enabled, or will
there be the risk, that my processor will get damaged because of
overheating?
Does the Pentium 4 m has a thermal diode, wich prevents the processor of
overheating, and does it throttle the CPU down in case?
Stephan
