Hi there,
while I don't have any numbers, it's my experience that unices
stress the hardware much more than any windows. For instance, I had
two PC133 and one PC100 RAMs in a machine, and Win2000 was
completely happy about that. Once I installed SuSE Linux, and then
FreeBSD on the machine, I started seeing lots of "Signal 11" errors.
You might see higher CPU temperature, but you have to factor out
whether any/all of the measured systems use the HLT instruction,
what software you run...
Hm, why do you ask in the first place?
