1 Hi all, I've loaded Gentoo on a Compaq nx 6150 notebook which reports a
2 Intel (R) Pentium (R) M Processor 1.73GHz Stepping 08 CPU at dmesg.

4 For some reason the CPU seems to run very hot with a lot of fan activity
5 compared to when I boot XP, plus overall performance seems slow in
6 comparisom to XP with Gnome freezing for a few seconds on occasion as
7 though the system is stretched.
8
9 Does this make sense to anyone? Is there a way of cooling how the CPU runs?

11 Thanks, Richard
