CpuIdle lowers the CPU temperature by disabling it when not needed. This prolongs the CPU life (a decrease by 10°C doubles the life span) and cuts power consumption. By decreasing power consumption it increases the time before your laptop battery goes dead. Unlike normal power management, it is active all the time and works even when you're actively using your computer.
- Added support for nForce2 chipset
- Fixed several issue WinXP issues

You're not going to see ANY results under Windows XP, simply because that platform doesn't need CpuIdle; it has a built-in function that does the same exact thing. Windowx 9x is a different story.

Has anyone had any success using this program in Windows XP? I can't check my temp on my MoBo from windows. I'd like to hear your results.

6.0 Beta 6 adds finally 3 options to advanced chipset cooling, it finally works at all my systems, also i noticed problem with older K7 with 0.5 multipliers get better (and is known) ...
so my rating is going back to 4 (because no freeware for home use)

its kinda strange... version 6 doesnt work for me at all, it just has no cooling effect. i'm currently using 5.9 and it cools my cpu down from 51°C to about 42°C, thats why i'm giving it 5 stars.

Still using Beta3. Installed Beta6 and it no longer works.
Reinstalled Beta3 and it's working again.
I'll still give it 4 flaming turds because when it works, it works well.
