Yes, I'd agree that this is too high. I've found that older AMD processors stop functioning reliably at this temperature, and at about 62° they stop functioning at all. The XP series do seem to run pretty hot, though. I'm running a 1700+ XP here, using -CURRENT, and it runs at about 48° CPU and 38 motherboard. By comparison, a K7 running -STABLE runs at about 31° CPU and 37° MB. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
