My machine is trickling about 4 times a day. ID: 2287 · Reply Quote

The trickle time depends on your PC and yours is quick... My AMD 1800+ on 24/7 (24 hours / 7 days a week) without much other use trickles once every 15 hours or so... :-) TRW PS: I actually created a little MS-Excel spreadsheet to help me forecast when the next trickle would occur. It seems to be fairly accurate. ID: 2853 · Reply Quote
