dougSF30, Re: The PDF says that even with an appropriate thermal solution, the throttle may activate during 'intensive' code. Which means it is well documented so no fraud ? BTW, has anyone done the necessary test for the above mentioned scenario ? gary

Dug - Re: "On the order of, "you forgot a heatsink" or "your heatsink fan broke". In these situations, the Athlon 4 shuts off." No it doesn't. It only has a thermal diode. Keep blowing lies, Duggie !

I would think a useful feature on the P4 would be to have a way to read the duty cycle of the throttle back mechanism (say with an 8 or 10 bit register). This would be useful to designers to let them know if further cooling is necessary, as well as to users - to let them know that possibly ventilation of a computer may be inadequate. To add my .02 worth to the debate, anyone that could conceivably claim a crash is better than a throttle back, doesn't do any useful work on a computer.
