Re: "Because both AMD and Intel want to make money. They both want people to upgrade newer CPUs. My reason is as simple and mundane. Let's hear your high power reasoning. Are you going to say something on "side-band" stuffs?" Sorry, I don't know what you mean by "side-band stuffs". Your explanation makes no sense. If chilling a processor has no affect on reliability then why don't AMD and Intel do it? This is a serious question. I must assume the answer is that it is a reliability problem regardless of what previous posters claim. I don't know for sure because this is not my area of expertise. I do know that if it was a no-brainer then Intel and AMD would be doing it. Isn't electromigration a function of frequency? Anyone? EP
