Dear Mani: Re: 1500 Tbird Well, if AMD pulls an Intel stunt, it would use the Merced HSF and surround the chip with TFE too. Pete

<..and coppermine has significantly less power.> This is incorrect and misleading, do not repeat paul's propaganda. AMD publishes highest possible power consumption numbers for the worst case - 90C case, special worst-case CPU execising software. None of the known applications get even close to 80% of the specified power parameters even for a millisecond. It is done to ensure solid board design. Intel instead publishes a joker's spec, where they contradict themselves - when max power is just about the same as "typical" power. There is a couple of amateur's software ("BURNP6" and BURNBX") by Robert Redelmeier ( redelm@ev1.net ). It can run CPU at 40% higher power than it gets on the heaviest SPEC-95 FPU calculations (which are among the heaviest power consumers). There were numerous reports of Coppermine overheating during continuous game play on Usenet groups. Just take a look a recent message about HP machines with side blower. Also look at recent development of all-copper-made heat sinks exclusively for coppermines and willamettes, reported on some Japanese web site few month ago. Regards, - Ali
