My p4 (2.8ghz), with just the standard heatsinc/fan and a case fan runs at 38-42 C.

thats incorrect amds run cooler

what's incorrect? Oh and i forgot to add the the intel cpus have a failsafe that shuts off the cpu before it over heats (or soemething like that) at the time the amd cpu didn't so it fried

I am only remembering what i have read. "Thats incorrect amds run cooler" doesn't make me want to go out and buy one right now... gimme some proof. someone with a 2800+ or higher cpu run your comp with the just a standard heatsink and fan and tell me what the temp is

will do when i get it on fri. but i have heard that it they run much cooler then p4's. the only diff between the 2800 and the 3000 is speed but the 2800 should do fine http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.a ... amd%2C2800 on that page AMD ATHLON XP 2800 "Barton" 333 FSB PROCESSOR CPU- RETAIL thats the one i got its like $180 something.

well if you don't mind paying for the extra speed, go for it.

yea if u have the money then go for the extra speed it would be nice but i think the amd 2800 is enough
