Mani, The 60 deg C max die temp is the lowest I have seen for a PC CPU, it is hard to do and I am sure there is good reason for it. It's actually quite simple. Apparently PIII doesn't run reliably at 1GHz and normal operating temperatures, so Intel lowered the maximum specification temperature. This is probably the sorriest excuse for a processor launch I have ever seen. Scumbria
