GRW5, While Kryotech is really "cool" I don't understand why someone would shell out all the extra bucks to get a 500MHZ K6-3 when Step-Thermodynamics can get you the same speed K6-3 for a lot less money. Of you could just get a Pentium II/III and overclock it a little. Also, if the refrigerator should die, does the CPU fry?

grw5, >>>KryoTech's minus 40C cooling system enables the AMD-K6-III/400 processor core, 64KB of integrated Level 1 cache, and 256KB of integrated Level 2 cache to run at the full thermally-accelerated processor speed of 500MHz<<< and >>>KryoTech is selling the 500MHz Cool K6-III in a barebones configuration for $1,250 (U.S. retail).<<< This thing runs at 40 degrees below zero and costs $1250 just for the processor and cache(s). What's the MTBF of this freezer? What a joke. I think I'll wait for the PIII. Tony
