(and i am talking ordinary aircooling here) The post you refer to hardly qualifies AMD as having trouble with overheating, it is as i understand it the "old" atlons mentioned in that post+ the extra heat of summertime, although one poster says that his XP 1500+ in a hot room runs at 55 degrees, but that is perfectly normal summer or not. The best way to ensure that your system comes with a powerful (enough and then some) cooler is to spend the extra 10-20$ for the top model cooler and have it shipped with that instead of the one they sell it with originally, i am sure you can ask the seller to install it for you for no extra charge. for more info: www.tomshardware.com www.anandtech.com www.amd.com Regards Jonas
