hmaly, re: "By the way, I have never heard of plastic having good thermal conductivity like copper or aluminum. Why would Intel use a plastic heat sink?"

Intel noted (at IDF?) that they were exploring plastic heatsinks. Not sure why (weight?) but they were using special plastic with far higher than standard thermal conductivity. I recall seeing it noted at one of the major web sites but I couldn't find it.
