This alone has helped many users who've seen thermal >problems. I noticed that in fact there seems to be some rubbery thermal pad between the CPU and the heat plate (very delicate too ... I put a jolly great tear in it when I tried to remove it to see if my CPU was really a P75 or an underclocked P120 ... unfortunately it was the former) ... problem is it seems to be only a fraction of the size of the possible contact area between the thermal plate and the CPU (granted, the flat area of the thermal plate isn't as big as the CPU but that pad isn't even as big as THAT)! Anyone got any idea what that pad really is? Is it a good idea to remove that pad and hope that the gap so created can be bridged by a good dose of thermal grease or would it be better to perhaps soak that pad in thermal grease then put it back? Alternatively what material should I use to make a new (more suitably sized) pad? >2) run AMN Refridgerator or CPUIDLE, both are best IMO, with AMN Refridgerator >100% free. WinNT/2K/Linux don't need this as it is built-in. I'm running Rain at the moment, I'll have a look at AMN Refridgerator though ... I assume there's a link to it on your website? >3) some pcmcia cards will run very hot, hotter than what the overclcoked lib >can handle. try a cooler card or use the external extended dock's pcmcia port.

I may think about that once summer hits ;-) Cheers! - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
