Robert - Re: "BTW - as far as I see in the picture, the paste is cleanly spread over the chip, with some overhang over the edges. What makes it look uneven is the uneven separation from the chip (ie half on one side, and half on the other)."

Very good observation.

Since the guy with the "dead Pentium" - 5 days after its introduction over a year ago - chose to decap the package rather than seek a replacement, he seems to have taken personal responsibility for killing the CPU - running it outside the maximum limits specified by Intel.
