Or you add a fan. I put a ST15150N into my 7500 and it's been running for several years. When I first installed it I quickly noticed it was HOT. I added one of those little fans with HD power connectors on it and it keeps the temp to a reasonable amount. But I wouldn't recommend it if you don't have to. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
