My current one is running pretty hot, but that's because it has switchable radeon cards and I don't think the switched off card is fully deactivated, even though I had some success with it, and also because (I think) C1E does not work see http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=29448. I couldn't get the i8254 mentioned there to work as one shot timer :( But with 4x2Ghz cores it's nice to test erlang scaling, and it works flawlessly for me, so I don't much care. So, I guess you just have to test your specific model; "Acer's computers" is just not a useful category... Cheers, Mathias -- "It's always a long day, 86,400 won't fit into a short."
