Ali - You wrote It was an impressive demonstration how stable AMD chips are at elevated temperatures, even above water boiling point Excuse me - but I couldn't find any mention of AMD stability in that article. In fact, I don't recall any mention that the author actually ran any applications - do you? He turned on the system, let it "warm up" for four minutes, then he fried his egg for eleven minutes. And you do know that he did fry the egg - do you not? He did not "boil" the egg - so I don't think you can draw any conclusion as to the AMD CPU operating above the temperature of boiling water. Oh - and since the whole experiment took only 4+11 = 15 minutes, is that considered a demonstration of stability for an AMD CPU? I thought they actually could run about an hour or more without crashing. Monica
