    Operating temperature for Athlon MP 1800+?

    Right, I've seen that. It looks promising, but I wanted to find some confirmation either way. I ended up with two of these, and wanted to make sure I didn't get taken to the cleaners by the dealer I got them from.

    WD1000BB-75CHEO?

    Can someone tell me if the WD1000BB-75CHEO is the Special Edition Western Digital Caviar or just the plain Caviar? I'm getting two stories. Thanks, Mike
