Laptop Pro Tools users at 100% CPU load - UNITE!
Is your laptop running at constant 100% CPU utilization whenever Pro Tools is loaded? (according to Windows Task Manager).
Several posts spread out on this forum clearly indicates that laptop users are experiencing a constant 100% CPU utilization whenever Pro Tools is loaded on their computer. The result is massive fan noise and an unnecessary hot laptop which will eventually shorten its lifetime and all the components within.
These posts also indicates that the problem lies in the interplay between Pro Tools (LE) and the Mobile Pentium4 - M processor.
These posts also indicates that the problem has been "known" for more than a year now.
Having this problem myself, i would really like you guys to join in and state your problem regarding this specific issue. We have to make this problem visible to have Digidesign try to fix it, or at least comment on it.
