re: CPQ AMD-based notebooks locking up. On my PIII 700 notebook, I have noticed that the CPU actually gets much hotter when the computer goes into idle. I have no idea why. The AMD notebooks locking up could be when the CPU load is greatest, or alternatively, the poorer quality of the motherboard/chipset...this seems to be a consistent theme as mentioned previously on this thread. 2nd and 3rd tier manufacturers are just not going to sink a huge amount of R&D to cater to a product with just 20% (less this coming year!) of the market. BTW, two more worthwhile links: (overclocked P4): virtual-hideout.net (flash): e-insite.net p.s. where's Paul? Gary
