Not true... They do consume a lot of power. You always want a descent 
powersupply so that's no different you only need a powerful one now. About 
the boards.... no idea... I only run MSI which I haven't had any problems 
with. About the 1.4+... above 1.4 they become AthlonXP's which generate less 
heat and finally have a thermal device in there..... It's not as good as the 
p-iv thermal thingy yet but where getting there.... the only complaint I have 
with AMD is that they should friggin' fix those cores. They damage really 
easily and if they are damaged your warranty = /dev/null
