I've never used one before; I've always used silicone grease. Does anyone know if I should use that gasket, and (if so) how should I think use the silicone grease (if at all)? Is there any rule of thumb about tightening down those two bolts that connect the heatsink to the processor? Thanks. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@picnic.mat.net | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic and jaunt, both FreeBSD-current.
