Mani, 1 GHz Coppermine does not use a fan. Intel has chosen to use the power consumption laws of the anti-universe. The more power the chip generates, the less heat is dissipated. This is represented by the familiar Klingon thermodynamic expression: P = E * C^2 / I Where P represents power, E is entropy, C is the speed of light, and I is current. I don't wish to bore the thread with the details, but the gist of the expression is that the more current is consumed, the greater the amount of entropy required to keep the world in balance. In other words, as Intel ramps up in MHz, Paul's posts become increasingly random. Scumbria
