Well I do know my old Athlon 550 (the original Athlon) runs a darn sight hotter than my Athlon XP1600+ ... but then again my old GeForce256 (again the very first GeForce version) also ran a lot hotter than my current GeForce2-TI ... On the flip side, current PIII laptops routinely run way too hot to touch inside ... remember, none of the libbys have vents or fans (I know there are those little slots under the screen hinge, those hardly count) where similar form factor PIII laptops (such as the recently superceded Portege) have little centrifugal fans and liquid cooling features ... - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
