The newer Athlons >are even cooler (Thoroughbred-B). I admit my mistake, I should have said "inadequate" instead of "adequate". By adequate I mean using the heatsink that comes with the cpu, if ever there is one. My experience with Pentium cpu's is they come with their own heatsink/fan right out of the box. I don't know about Athlon just rumors from my friends who has built one. By the way, my interest is shifting towards dual Athlons so I could try those Deep versions of Fritz, Junior, Shredder.
