General Comments

I have Athlon XP 1900+ (1.6GHZ) processor that is based on Palomino core.
With special copper heatsink, temperatures do not rise more than 60 oC on 100% CPU load, but with standard one it climbs to 75 oC.
Nice processor, stable and reliable (with special heatsink and no overclock), good performance.
It still can run a lot of modern 3D games (with good display adapter).

My CPU equipped with special copper heatsink and powerful fan that does a lot of noise (almost like air conditioner, even more than my server that has twice the fans).
Such a computer can not work in bedroom at night, but it is still good for most of 32bit applications.

    My Athlon 2600+ runs at about 53...all the time, even when there are lots of programs open.
