the cooler as some standard ~ 10USD at Duron, maybe there is a lot of dust

The Barton has its boxed AMD cooler, installed from shop, few months old,
but there have been problems since I got it. Missing textures in UT at most
(that's the only application I get problems... but very often :-(
The way I got there is something bad with my computer was very hurting:
I have some same data on both computers. After a defragmentation run, the
data became different. Archives with CRC errors etc...
