<<The chip, just by itself, is placed in a compartment cooled with liquid nitrogen with connecting wires coming out to the motherboard?>> Yes, that's the gist of what I got from the site. A happy PC user can get this for an additional $500. I'm toying with the cheaper "water-cooled" process by making a die that fits directly over the CPU. Perhaps common automotive antifreeze may be used. This die will either be hollow or contain capillaries that run a liquid coolant through it to dissipate heat. The Coolant in turn goes through a radiator and compressor setup to remove the heat and recycle the coolant. On the small scale, I'm thinking about a water cooled IIsi running at a modest 150 Mhz. Of course, that "Intel Cool-Gel" idea I posted earlier doesn't seem so far-fetched now. Especially if parts of the motherboard other than the CPU start to get hot. -Bill_H
