And before you say superconductor. They basicly have the completely opposite goal than CPUs in this matter.
Wut, Im no emo lol

Anyway, indeed Ive no 'n clue about kinetic energy involved in such situations, thanks for sort of clarifying. Although I already got the point that such low temps wouldnt do the CPU any good, how and what it would do...

My point is not many users will make the transition to an AMD platform if it just can keep up with the current socket 775 CPU's or barely beat it...

And why do you compare to I7 ? Lost me completley there
But why do you ask that question since I only took one slight look at your rig to think that was a weird question coming from you, especially on this forum

Although I'd at least wait for AM3 boards to be out before making a jump from skt 775, AM2+ ain't dead yet either but as said, ain't making a lot of sense with AM3 being around the corner.

Also 4~4.4Ghz haven't been the noted average. 3.7~4.3Ghz was noted to be an eventual average. In the end Yorkfield ain't hitting 4~4.4Ghz on average either, if PhII would it would actually be a nice move (from tweaker pov). Also I dont see why 4~4.4Ghz would be a dissapointment in anyway I think that's actually very nice if true
