A few weeks ago I bought a new mobo with a 1.7ghz 
Intel celeron. You can put your hand on the processor 
heat sink fins and it's actually cool to the touch. The only 
heat in the box comes from the power supply, and perhaps 
a bit from the hard drive. 

Quite a difference from the Pentium IIII a friend bought recently - 
which would make a good space heater.

Irv
