The thermal requirements for Thunderbird haven't changed. The spec still tolerates a max 90 degree centigrade CPU temperature at all speeds - no special requirement for the higher speed processors. Plenty of headroom - a nice, robust chip. amd.com Meanwhile, the latest stepping of the PIII 700-866MHZ chips will tolerate 80 degrees, but the 933 requires cooling (to 5 degress C less than a standard P3), the 1.0 GHZ requires special cooling (to 10 degrees C below a standard P3) and 1.13 GHZ basically needs a kryotech case (requiring cooling to 18 degrees C below a standard p3). developer.intel.com It appears that, despite all the publicity, Intel's C0 stepping has failed to bring coppermine binsplits anywhere near to AMD's speed grades. Interestingly, the spectre of Duron seems to have collapsed PIII pricing for parts running 733 and lower. PIII, Celeron, Duron, and K6 systems all seem to sell for about the same price at a given MHZ where each is available. Dan
