Dan - re: In 15 years in this business I've never seen a clipped on (as opposed to some of the early glued on) heat sink fall off.

did you read my post? It happened to me, and although I have as lot of computers for an individual, it is a sample set of less than 20. And no, the heat sink did not fall off - it was clipped on real nice, solid. Just didn't make decent thermal contact. Apparently had just enough contact to keep the system from shutting down during QA. But that was the PIII. I doubt the Athlon would have done as well.

I like Athlon, I have 2 machines with the 1.2GHz version. But they quite obviously have dropped the ball on thermal protection.
