What's best Rain, Waterfall or CPUIDLE?

I have never used Waterfall, but I prefer Rain because it does a very good job of software cooling and it seems to use less resources (if any) as compared to CPUidle. All 3 programs do a good job, Rain just seems to me to leave the smallest footprint.

I am running Win98SE, BTW.
 
The latest version of Rain is version 2.0, but it looks and runs just like version 1.0, so there is little or no difference between the two.

The only place I have been able to find it is at OC Tools
 
If ypour running Windows2000 then don't bother with any of them, Win2k has built in 'software cooling'
 
Ive used cpuidle and rain, cpuidle did a little better, but rain is still a good program. Im going to keep using cpu idle untill the free trial runs out. Then go back to rain.
 
Well I think "None of the Above" if a CPU is designed and cooled properly there is no need for programs like that.
 
nah.. finding the next mersenne prime is more important.. at least you get to leave your name in history. Check
here.😀
 
if u have acpi enabled on win98 se or regular 98 ... no need for cpu cooling programs, since it's automatically done.
 
ok i tried rain but when i have to pick my processor from the list there is no p3
pentium pro came up as a default so thats what i've stayed with
what should i select to get the best performance??

i'm running rain 2.0
 
bringing this back from the grave.

it looks like win2k users do not need any of these since it's built in.

but how about those who are running "standard pc" and not "acpi"?
