Duron @ 650 VIA hardware monitor: WHAT IS SYSTEM HYSTERESIS????

[Maverick2002]

well today i took my Duron to 650Mhz, and after running it for about 30 minutes, my VIA hardware monitor says that the System Hysteresis is lower than system temperature (in the form of a warning)

what does it all mean and should i be concerned?
plz help
-THX

The magnetization of ferromagnetic substances due to a varying magnetic field lags behind the field. This effect is called hysteresis, and the term is used to describe any system in whose response depends not only on its current state, but also upon its past history. The loss of energy per magnetization cycle per volume is given by Steinmetz's equation.

It's probably nothing to worry about.
