Gary, Re: laptops overheating I was at Fry's yesterday, and I thought I'd test a few laptops, just to see how hot they get on the bottom. Compaq had a 1.4GHz Athlon 4 (1600+ rated), and the bottom was pretty warm. Sitting next to it, however, was a 1.0GHz Pentium III-M, and the bottom on that was just as hot! Lastly, I checked the bottom of a 1.6GHz Pentium 4-M (you know - the paper launched one <ggg>), and it was cooler than either the Pentium III-M or the Athlon 4. That leads me to believe that there is plenty of room in the design of a mobile machine, and just the heat from the CPU has little to do with it. wbmw

Re: keys just come off That's expected when you bounch them down stairs like slinkys. Other problems too. I love my 1215US and have had zero problems with it. The disinformation squads at Intel love spreading rumors. They're usually second, third, or fourth hand. I can tell you about friends - this is second hand, but I can confirm its truth because they are people I know well - who've their Dell and Gateway PIII notebooks lock up - no doubt from overheating, the software can't have had anything to do with it, right? P4 mobile is a 30watt part and puts out more heat than Athlon mobile - and the .13 Intel process leaks too much for the onboard thermal cutoff to work. If you think Athlon isn't ideal for notebooks, then you must be convinced that P4 is truly awful.

Gary, an interesting comment from your link. Now that's pretty damn good considering it's just the stock Intel cpu hsf! I was able to achieve a 755mhz overclock with stock components! No voltage mods, No huge heatsinks, nothing that you out there reading this couldn't do providing you get a primo cpu. That's as good an indication as you could ask for about how good Intel's process is and how much headroom is available for NorthWood! I'll let you know what I get mine up to! EP
