I find that my CPU has a higher temp when running a DOS prog than when
running in XP (for ex. memtest3). Even when playing in the BIOS the
temp goes up but rapidly goes down in win.

Is this because the CPU is configured for Windows rather for DOS. Or
is it because DOS (bios) temp gauge is more accurate.

The reason is because DOS applications run in a virtual window
under emulation. The added overhead of the DOS emulator contributes
to the higher CPU temperature.

Makes sense

No, is nonsense! nder DOS, the CPU will run 100% under load. Under
Windows (from W98 in ACPI mode and up) there will be the "idle task"
having the CPU do idle clocks when not used. This is doing nothing and
omitting clocks.
This way the CPU will be cool at a win desktop and temp goes up when
playing.
