Thanks for the link, but I had to start monitoring my own temperature
when I read those pages :-/ I'd propably pay for a new CPU every now and
then to replace the burned one, if that was the only way not to ever
have to study and implement those instructions :-) Anyway, I'm glad you
agree that a simple solution is needed.
