A question for the masters...
I've noticed on a couple of the demos I've downloaded (particularly the ATI 9800 Chimp demo) that CPU usage is 100% while they are running. I'm guessing that is due to the amazingly complicated 3D graphics. The demos run smoothly enough, especially as I have the 9700, not the 9800 card. Is there any chance though that I could harm my card or computer by running something that goes at 100%? Or is there some "safety switch" that flicks on or off to prevent anything untoward from occurring?
Please instruct me, oh knowledgable ones!
