Also running Dragon Plus with AMD 1900. Just realized today the sound isn't working, but no doubt it's an operator error of some sort. Don't use it anyway, but I suppose I should look into it. CPU stays about 50 degrees as shipped. I didn't know to use heat transfer grease instead of the stuff on the head sink, but I have some and the case is open. I'll let you in on the difference.
