Thanks everyone for the links & great advise about ' Notebooks " much appreciated.
Those cooled CPU temp's were a bit of a shock to me as i have mine set in BIOS to automaticaly turn itself off when reaching it reaches 75 C degrees, mine sits on 50 C to 60 C degrees max.
I can see the sleep mode that Tom mentioned as a great idea when there is no CPU activity, they are very expensive to replace if cooked, those cooling type pads that Tony mentioned are a top idea too, makes me wonder at what temps they normaly run at without any cooling help.
With the increasing sales of 250 billion per year for laptops, its easy to see what the future holds for the desktops, so i better start getting used to Notepads.
Thanks very much for your help.
take care all,
Brian
