I'm not sure why everyone keeps assuming that Apple is going to go with the x86 architecture. Intel has other architectures, such as Itanium. Plus, what's stopping Apple from asking Intel to produce PowerPC procs? I would imagine that Apple would not go the x86 route; just my $.02 worth.

Exactly...I applaud them if they're goign to Intel to have them supply PPC chips, but even Jobs would have a hard time keeping Apple at the growth level they're at if they were to switch to x86. I guess we'll have to wait until Monday to see the details of the announcement and see what Apple...

Hummm, okay, so the general consensus is just very pure alcohol, paper towell, etc. I think I can do that. :) Thanks. I really appreciate the responses.

On both the CPU and the underside of the heatsink? Dumb question (I'm almost afraid to ask): I imagine I should remove the processor from the slot in order to do this...right? ;) Is it worth buying the "ArtiClean 1/2" in order to clean the stuff up?

I'm replacing a heatsink that came with one of my servers... I've successfully removed the heatsink, but there was a thermal pad that was between the CPU and the heatsink. I'm not sure how to properly clean the bottom of the heastink (which has thermal-pad residue) and the top of the CPU, as...

Sorry *AGAIN*! I keep clicking the wrong freggin' buttons... Feel free to delete this thread.

Sorry...please delete this post. I accidentally clicked "new topic"...my fault!

That's a major bummer...

I'm not sure why in the world Windows XP has to be so dumb about some things...this has been one of the most annoying things that I have ever encountered with any operating system I've ever worked with. I'm sure most of you know that you can "hide" icons that are in your task tray by right...

I can't figure out how to remove the clip on the heatsink which is holding the heatsink assembly to the motherboard. In the instructions I had to "push" straight down to latch the metal mount onto the metal tooth...now I can't figure out how to remove it, and I don't want to break anything...

I was building a computer and I was having some serious problems with it before, so I returned my CPU and motherboard through Newegg and bought the same exact parts. (basically an exchange) Everything was working absolutely beautifully... Until today. The other day I noticed a very strange...

Anyone ever had a problem with their Cooler Master case? I just bought one off of Newegg a few days ago and I'm having some issues with the rear fan on the case. It's rattling like crazy and sounds like it's dying. I'd RMA the case to Newegg, but all so that I can replace one fan? The...

What type of temperatures are y'all getting with your AMD64 3500+ processors? I'm using a stock heatsink/fan and am wondering what a "normal" temperature would be. I've read about normal temps with other (slower) AMD64 processors, but I'm looking for 3500+ specifics. Thanks!
