I would never buy the latest, you have to pay a large premium for that. Or in other words, to buy the latest is a rip off. I would rather spend the extra to get a Dual system, or/and more RAM or/and bigger Hard disk or/and faster CD burner and etc. etc....... Anyway there is nothing wrong with a litle heat if you got the right cooling for it! I think it is fun to overclock my Athlon TB 1.4 to about 1.5 Ghz and it has been working quite fine for some weeks now. Athlon TB 1.4GHZ is known as the Athlon with the biggest "heat potensial". :-) The price I have to pay is some fan noice. (And maybee i'm cutting my processors life a bit short. But who cares about an Athlon TB in 2-4 years?) Torstein
