Will this new chip from intel be as cool as AMD'S though? I want a cool cpu, not one that I can fry an egg on like my current P4 3.0
Anyone have info on that?

Thats not entirely true. Heat IS the ultimate cause of CPU failure short of a blatant overvoltage or surge such as ESD. Naturally, you don't go into your BIOS and Immediately raise your Vcore beyond MAX recommended. Everything sould be done in increments. You may reduce your CPU's life by applying too excessive a Vcore for a prolonged period of time but as long as you cool it accordingly, you should be fine unless the CPU is of lower than average production quality. Frequency has absolutely nothing to do with CPU failure/reliability issues.Voltage and frequency are the main factors that kill CPUs these days, not heat.
Everything you reference comes back to HEAT = #1 issue and yes, an effective cooler will eliminate the problem. Netburst is the P4 generation so how was heat an issue with the Nortwood core? It wasn't. Prescott cores are where heat became an issue. Frequencies DID NOT CHANGE between cores and was NOT the reason for increased heat. Heat generated by frequencies is inconsequential as it can be neutralized by an effective cooling solution. The Cedar Mill/Presler cores prove that it's more to do with core architecture than frequency.Frequency was the main factor in Net burst that generated heat.
The new Cedar Mill and Preslers actually run much cooler than the Prescott and Smithfields. If you want a cooler running CPU that OC's like crazy, the P4 6x1 series CedarMills may be what your looking for if Dual core is not in your plans or budget. I've yet to read the review personally, but from what I've heard, the Cedar Mills are close to the same temps as the A64's due to it's 65nm design and EIST. They may be worth your consideration if you chose not to wait until Conroe and their prices are set to drop come April and perhaps even more upon Conroe's release making them a very good buy.
Cedar Mills currently do not have EIST.
I'd say the more energy passes through the chip,the worse it is.
For example
sistem1 (using Vapo Chill OC and raised vcore but staying a littlecooler than a system2 OC with stock cooler/vcore) will have a shorter life when compared to sistem 2. (provided that the temps are not sky high)
And i was talking about frequency when OCing. Raising frequency leads to more heat. So frequency>heat .
