I thought it might be something like that but hadn't heard one way or the other. >2) I think there's no official plan to produce such machine. Personally, I hope >it will be possible to buy a cpu wich I can use without fan (less noise) !! :) Yeah, I think running the CPU slower and cooler yet still having it equivalent in practical speed to a much faster MHz unit could only be a good thing all around. You'd think somebody would sell such a system, since it appears they'd have no competition -- at least at first!
