    They don't in SOB - that is the specific purpose Vaughan bought this CPU for - nothing else. Even my A64-3500 dawdles at SOB. As Boosted Integra says "Intel P4's rule" (... in Seventeen or Bust.)

    Now what you really need is the new Opterons that support SSE3

    Whats the cost difference there?
    I spent roughly 125 dollars on 3 heatsinks before i could get loaded temps below 50C, but even now i have the Heatsink fan (80mm) running 5000 rpms, along with a blowhole side fan doing the same to keep it there.
    I have a larger full tower case coming for it, i hope the added space will help things a bit more.
