Mani, Intel's <..1 GHz has max junction temp is 60 degrees C !!!!> Yes, this is funny. Someone in the "pool" told me some crazy numbers, that AMD tests Athlons at 90 degrees C plate temperature, sometimes up to 120. Not too shabby, is not it? <1 GHz Coppermine needs ... and a thick copper spreader.> Looks like it really needs it. One time Intel bosses mentioned something like "including liquid phase evaporation technique". I believe they referred to heat pipes encapsulated into the base spreader. Alpha from Japan makes this kind of tricks, far from for free as you may guess... One more thing about the Piii copper heat sink. It may be true that there is no fan attached to it in close proximity. However, several computer makers prefer to use a powerful exhaust fan and an air shroud/duct down to the CPU heat sink. So there IS a forced air convection through those tight spaced fins. So the thread moron may have heard something, but you are right, he has no idea what he is talking about, as usual about any technical matters. However, he has a very good memory about Intel historical stock performance, :) :) Take care, - Ali
