Question for Richard about watts: I'm not sure I'd want to depend on AMD process engineering - from the specs it appears the Athalon 1G pulls a whopping 60+ watts. By contrast the PIII 1G comes in at 30+ watts. So, I just bought parts to build an Athlon 600Mhz computer. I'm well aware the thing is a furnace, so I bought a quality power supply and a quality case and I'm adding an additional quality fan for. The additional expenditure was only abut $50. Of course I can see the advantage of a cooler, lower wattage chip, especially in portables. But it doesn't seem to me that it would be a big problem in workstations or desktops. Why would this be a problem on workstation or desktop computer?
