you don't need one if you have a good enough passive heatsink... which i doubt you do... so yeah, get a fan

not avaliable as retail, not even being commercially made!

i'm sure you hate your OEM pc 2100 high latency memory ^^

even opterons shouldn't go up in the 70s, i doubt it'll even break 50 without overclocking. you probably have a bad mount and not enough air flow

big typhoon's mounting system is so messed up, most of the time you have to ghetto it. just try some stuff, and i would recommend you to take your mobo out whether you need it or you don't because it will be INCREDIBLELY difficult to install it.

read my water cooling guide, a bit out dated, but the info on the pumps still stand.

agreed as far as performance goes, but the zalman is one nice piece of engineering! if only they can scale it up to the 120mm category and i'm pretty sure it'll outperform the si-120

if it is just for gaming, then the 4000+ will do better than the dual core, but if you want future proof(unlikely) or do other mult-thread applications, then yeah

cache is built onto the cpu, for matlab, i would get a dual core, but a64s do just fine. (but if you want to do dual core, look into a64 x2 or opterons). as far as motherboards go, a64s don't really matter, for good balance of good overlcocking and easy installing/good UI go for abit, for more...

....who uses nics these days, on board

i use azu, and yes, i did memtest for 5+ hours

hey guys, i'm stuck on this thing where my comp gets the bsod when i BT too long. i play games, do everything fine even for extended periods of time (5+ hours). but BT causes bsod like every 45 minutes or less

great choice! way better than that blue orb

junk^100000 air can beat that easily

i agree with you on everything and i realized the platform restriction on teh pentium M. one thing is that the xp-90 requires a high cfm fan to perform... so look into something like a zalman 7000 for quiet and performance
