Re: look at the Assembly Crossection

Paul, find some other nonsense to peddle.

The die is located on the center of the chip package for Athlon and Athlon XP. It may be possible to screw up a P4 by mounting a heat sink 180 degrees off, but you can't affect an Athlon that way - the middle is still the middle, even if you rotate it.

The site you were linking to was offering heatsinks for P4's that could also be used on Athlons.

Nice try, though, and you have focused attention on a failing of the P4 case, which is indeed asymmetrical and could encounter problems if a heat sink were rotated...
