Steve, <With the newest P4 shrink do you still have to bolt the chassis to the CPU?>

I didn't do that with my P4 (Willamette) system. It's still working great.

By the way, why does the heatsink on Hammer look just as big (if not bigger) than the heatsink on Pentium 4? Once AMD starts asking system vendors to bold the chassis to the CPU, you AMDroids would be calling that requirement "good engineering." ;-)

Steve, Re: "The P4 needs a shrink."

Correction:

The P4 *needed* a shrink.

Now, it's just about the same size as Palomino, completely eliminating any advantage that AMD has with regards to die size.

With the current delay of Thoroughbred, this gives Intel the "low cost advantage" that the AMD folk have always touted as their greatest strength.

I can see that being a big blow to AMD's cost structure. They better get a move on to .13u....
