To my knowledge, a program cannot "destroy" a CPU. I have never personally heard of such a thing, and do not understand how this would be possible. AND, if your processor is under warranty, and it is "damaged", they should replace it, regardless of what operating system or software is installed on the system. That would be like a Harddrive company not replacing a bad harddrive because you chose to install WordPerfect instead of MS Office on it! -Chris If I am wrong then hopefully someone else will correct me. > -----Original Message----- > From: Stefan Boy [SMTP:ohahx@hotmail.com] > Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 1999 4:38 PM > To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Hardware destroyd.
