hmmmm, I don't know about your situation, but if heat was a problem you could run your own test with a cheap thermocouple. You might use a program like netsaint to monitor the heat over a period of time. I know that www.anandtech.com runs all of their stuff on dual athlons. Lemme know what you find out! - Joel --- Ivo Grosse <grosse@cshl.org> wrote: > Hi Joel, > > thanks a lot.
