Be very careful running this if you hold your Macbook on your lap(probably not recommended anyway). My cpu temp jumped to 86C and total meltdown is not far from that. If I didn't have temperature montior running I never would have known how hot it was getting. This app is a must btw for C2D Macbook owners http://www.bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
Even though the graphics are very primitive this game is a real Cpu torture tester so be careful.

Might destroy your Macbook - karx11erx
Looks like an ad for the temperature monitor rather than a serious and useful comment. D2X-XL will use both CPU cores if you let it, and if your Macbook isn't properly cooled (and if you heat it up with your body heat as well), you should rather print "I am dumb enough to almost destroy my MacBook by holding it on my lap". Btw, I've never heard or read of D2X-XL doing anything like that before. In that light the comment sounds pretty idiotic.Thursday, August 14 2008 @ 07:00 AM PDT
Might destroy your Macbook - m-bomb
Seems to me the worst that would happen would be a core shutdown, which would be a bummer, but not cause permanent damage. You need it in the 90s to do that...Tuesday, September 16 2008 @ 06:40 PM PDT

I haven't read so much bullcrap in so few words in quite a while. That comment intention apparently rather is to harm the project than to give useful feedback.D.Mali
