Close? I deliberately quoted a rough figure (note my use of the word 'say') that illustrated the
order of magnitude of slow-down - to get my point across that high temperature will not cause a PC to become so unresponsive that you can't do anything. Even if the speed is throttled down to 10%, you still shouldn't see these symptoms.
I didn't want to quote Intel Thermal specs as it's out of the scope of our discussion - especially when it's not clear which P4 chip it is, what thermal control mode is on nor what the factory set automatic duty cycle is on.
No use being pedantic when there's little data to work with
Anyway I'm glad stuff worked out. My laptop's install of Windows is starting to slow down (Quicklaunch menu takes 10 seconds to appear), so looks like I'm about to start a painful backup + reinstall journey :/
