>>>"What's that in celsius?"
If the Northwood runs at 60C with a TDP of 82W, what would a 103W CPU make? Well, we've been running the 3.20E at 100% load (running Distributed Folding - join our top 20 team!) for the past 2-3 weeks or so. Using the same retail heatsink, the 3.20E was sizzling away at a consistent 77-80 degrees! And yes, THAT IS CELSIUS.
It should be noted that in all that time, the Prescott didn't produce so much as a hiccup. But if overall case temperatures are a concern, and you have other components that are sensetive to heat, you should probably consider a higher end thermal solution if going with a Prescott. I think we are going to see a whole new wave of mainstream watercooling solutions riding the Prescott core.>>>>

You know what i see... a over rated, over hyped processor which will only begin to shine in a year to 2. But so is the case with the athlon64 though it actually does perform better then a athlonxp. Atleast prescott isnt another will or that be a shame.

That is not supprise me since intel chip always has problem in most of the first generation of each family. But it will get better on the second generation.
