i leave my comp on all the time. having an AMD athalon i have had no problems of the sort. y would P4's have a heatsink that size if the dont need it?!?!?!? and then y dont AMD processors have mondo heatsinks?!?!?!?! think about it. i bet the reason P4s cost so much is the heatsink. if ur looking for multytaskers go with P4, other wise, AMD

OMG

ok listen, the reason AMD processors do not come with huge heatsinks is because the clip design can't handle it. Any larger heatsinks (check out a swiftech MCX462+) uses holes in the motherboard to mount. The P4's come with a nice heatsink retention clip that can handle fairly large heatsinks. Not only that, but the stock Intel heatsink is surprisingly light.

Don't get me wrong, the stock Intel sink is no the coolest beast on the planet. It's designed to deliver satisfactory cooling with low noise. Intel has always made massive heatsinks for their processors. Even a stock P3 cooler is larger than a AMD, but it makes about 50% of the noise.

And its not just the higher end P4's that pull away from AXP's. The entire range of 'C' class P4's are faster than their AMD counterparts.

signatures suck
