51 deg? I read somewhere that 50 is the threshold heat wise for P4's before things may start to go wrong. Though I'm certinly not 100% sure on that. Does seem a tad warm.

Not true Gixer, but his was running much hotter than any P4 I have ever seen.

Gixer, AMD and Intel CPU's are both good products, but AMD's support chipset (up until recently) has been rather problematic.

Then with AMD you almost always have to have some third party HSF, which adds to the cost of the CPU. The Intel HSF works fine, even in overclocked situations and is inexpensive.

I'd never mess with an AMD chip again myself.

Intel Chips stick to heatsinks because of the large surface aera sticking it on.... its not a defect, its just unlucky...
