Don't forget to check your power supply under load, either. The PS is the primary point of entry for those dustbunnies, which can really hose a power supply. I've had just *one* bad AMD chip in the past (not bad for as many as I've bought) which actually behaved once I cut its multiplier down to below spec; but all the rest of the failures I've seen have been power supply-related (sigh, even Antec). The symptoms you'll see might make you *think* it's CPU/thermal.
Hunh. I'll get a can of air and blow out the power supply on my old dual P3-833. It'd be nice if it weren't actually completely hosed. That'd make a decent herc box or mail server or something.
