Dan, <Not nearly as big and hot as P4/Foster, but still pretty big and hot.> If you haven't noticed, Athlon still generates more heat than the Pentium 4, even though the P4 runs at higher clock speeds and has a larger die size. As for large heatsinks, I just installed a GHz Pentium III last weekend. It was the retail boxed version, complete with the standard-issue heatsink and fan. Now that baby is HUGE for an FC-PGA processor. Yet during normal operation, the heatsink is very cool to the touch, even cooler than the heatsink on my old 600 MHz Slot 1 Pentium III (also Coppermine). Why the Gigamine would need such a beefy cooling solution is beyond me, but perhaps Intel would rather err on the side of caution when it comes to thermal issues. Tenchusatsu
