RE:"Both AMD parts drastically overheated...one of them started a fire inside the PC. Both Intel parts handled the removal gracefully. This is an overall part of the cost of a CPU. Liability issues alone are a cost." I guess I'd better get a fire extinguisher to set next to the computer...then again I haven't heard any reports of Gateway Athlon systems starting fires... I suspect the one cost, one platform, cost cutting, "we're losing money", "wanna be like Dell" syndrome had something to do with it.
