I have come across a simply remarkable article on viahardware.com! The tweak took me 5 minutes, was very easy and I watched my temp monitor go from 51C to 43C in 10 minutes after doing this!
"Contrary to popular belief, chip manufacturers AMD and Intel are very dedicated to releasing highly stable silicon components. As a matter a fact, both have integrated highly efficient cooling units in their CPU’s. The problem, however, is that many chipset manufacturers fail to implement a way for your system to make use of these incredible features.
Every AMD Athlon XP and Intel Pentium 4 has the ability to keep cool, quite efficiently, by using two chipset settings known as HALT Command Detect and Disc When STPGNT# Detect. The chipset vendor VIA has added these settings to their KT266/266A chipsets, but left them disabled by default. This guide also applies to the KT133 chipset family."
