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? -- FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE 6:05PM up 5 days, 1:51, 25 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.02, 0.03 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
