Frank don't you find it somewhat strange that xeons are priced almost the same as pIII in an environment of shortages and no competition while pIII..... Regards -Albert

How to build a Pentium 4 system (INTEL) Posted By johan Wednesday, August 23, 2000 - 2:06:54 PM It looks like you will need to change a lot in your system if you want it to host a pentium 4: Special copper/al heatsink, 450g (!heavy! A normal heatsink weighs about 200g) To make sure that this heavy heatsink does not move, the heatsink will be connected to the chassis via a sort of retention pins, which connect to the chassis through holes in the motherboard Special ATX12V power supply (250-300+W) P4 wants up to 50A of current Power dissipation is 55w (1.4 GHz) and more Intel recommends cases that have venting holes in the front and at the side A big 80 mm case fan, which sucks the hot air out of your case, is recommended CPU's higher than 2 GHz require a EMI grounding frame. this is a rectangular frame with pins that touch the heatsink and pins that ground to grounding points of the motherboard. No need to use it with the current P4 (1.4-1.5 GHz) Big heatsink on the northbridge, chipset is speced to run at up to 88C! Oh yes, I sat down and talked to Albert Yu: 2.002 GHz CPU was handpicked but (heavily) aircooled!! So no Kryotech stuff here... Stay tuned for tommorow, because I should have some extra P4 info (architecture, hopefully also performance) aceshardware.com
