What are the specs on your PC?

Perhaps the lower fan speed was more effective at getting the air out of the case. Or your room temp is lower at that time of day. Or Folding is less CPU intensive than Divx encoding. Or perhaps the thermal paste has now been "burned in".
Prime95 is the "industry" recognised CPU stressing util. It supposedly gets CPUs hotter than anything else.

Except dosbox isn't perfect yet, especially for some later DOS games. Also, it requires a good amount of power for some protected-mode games. Remember, it emulates an entire x86 machine with SB sound and multiple old school video modes. They do have some good frontends for it though, that make it a heck of a lot easier to work with multiple games that may require different settings to run well. Helps some ancient games run at a playable (meaning not 1000x) speed.

Use a CVS version and the "dynamic" core will let you play protected-mode games fine (also use opengl or overlay for video). I think the program works well for games until '95.
I had an old laptop for dos games; but after I tried dosbox (and the video & midi enhancements you can get) I have forgotten that old machine.

So yeah, I got some new stuff for my system. Not much of an upgrade but a lot was free.
ASUS P4S800D-X (new)
1 gig Kingston PC3200 (2X 512) (new)
128MB Geforce Ti4200 (new, a minor upgrade from my last card, its the same card with just twice the RAM and 8X AGP)
P4 2.0Ghz... I now can get it upto 2.77 Ghz as apposed to 2.4 on the last mobo.
The rest is basically the same
Crappy lil' capture card (maz 320X240)
DVD-R+RW 8X burn
DVD-rom (junked from old PC, think its 12X)
1 20gig HD (only used for OS)
1 80gig HD
1 200gig HD (both west digi)
I still use onboard sound... but it is ok on this system.
I'm setting up another computer with some of the old parts.

I hate onboard sound especially that crap ac-97 crap
I liked it back in the day when onboard sound used to be creative soundblaster.These days since i've bought my audigy i've been so pleased with the sound i just carry it to every pc. I may update to the latest one some time soon but i don't want to because I have linux compatability to think about 😀
