Even so, there are two machines that make a noticeable difference &#8211; the Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook S7210 that I use for work, and my Apple MacBook &#8211; both of which have 2.2GHz Intel Core2Duo CPUs (T7500 &#8220;Merom&#8221;) and 4GB of RAM.  Admittedly, the MacBook has also been upgraded with a 320GB disk but Apple now offers a similar, if not identical, option in its current MacBook White model.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s quite normal to hear the fan blowing on the MacBook, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.islayer.com\/apps\/istatmenus\/\">iStat Menus<\/a> regularly suggests temperatures of 50-60&deg;C, but last weekend it seemed the fan was running almost non-stop, and I saw reported CPU temperatures in the high 80s (even peaking at 90&deg;C).  After shutting down many applications to reduce the load on the system (iTunes, Photoshop and Bridge CS3, VMware Fusion) and ejecting my external hard disk, it still wasn&#8217;t coming down, so I began to have a look around on the &#8216;net.<\/p>\n<p>The best advice I found was on <a href=\"http:\/\/forums.macrumors.com\/showpost.php?s=c2264758239c61f42a6a72fc8ad619b6&#038;p=4367612&#038;postcount=2\">a Mac Rumors forum post which suggest running up Activity Monitor to see which process was driving up the CPU utilisation<\/a> (and therefore making the machine run hot)&#8230; sure enough, it was a Norton AntiVirus process!<\/p>\n<p>It may have been co-incidence that the product doing this was one which has such a bad name as a resource hog (I&#8217;m told the 2009 products are not as resource hungry as their predecessors but this is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.symantec.com\/norton\/macintosh\/antivirus\">Norton AntiVirus 11 for Mac<\/a>, which, according to the copyright notice, dates back to 2007).  Whatever the cause, killing that process dropped the CPU utilisation and within seconds the machine was back down to a more normal level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My home office is a warm place.
