I realized this thing when I got problem with my laptop’s cooling fans. I use both XP and Ubuntu. And for your information, I still use Pentium IV. The problem was the air tunnel was dirty, so the air circulation was not maximum.
When I used XP, I still can work for hours even with heavy programs.
When I worked with Ubuntu, I only can work for max 30 minutes. Especially, when I open few programs.
I could see from the temperatur indicator in Ubuntu Panel. It increased bit slowly until it automatically turn off.
Does Ubuntu need more source of CPU compare to windows XP?
I don’t think so. What I think is, in windows, all devices are supported with its original driver. Mean, all devices could work efficiently and use all its capability.
When, I work with Ubuntu, all devices worked with standard driver. Of course, it will need more sources from the CPU.
Well, that’s only what I think.
Do you think the same think with what I think?
there is a problem in kernel for cooling down your cpu, please use patch/apps that can fix your device
