Cirrus, OT: Re: I have turned off the fan on my Duron 600 because it was annoyingly loud. Thanks for the input, I think I'll test that out with my (currently unused) Duron 800 myself. If it doesn't crash after one night with 3DMark, Prime95 etc. it's probably safe. Since a GeForce 2 MX also consumes around 10W and runs without a hitch with a small heat-sink the Duron should probably run as well (although the die is somewhat smaller, so there's more heat for the same area). BTW, if you buy an Enermax power supply, I'd go with the 330W model. It's a very good choice for passive cooling of the CPU because the fan is just above the CPU (at the bottom side of the power supply). It's also very quiet. Andreas
