I finally stepped up and Upgraded my AMD Athlon 64 4000+ to a dual core setup. And wow... The difference is huge!!!!!! I can't believe how this thing runs. And get this; idle this CPU sits at 30C on an air cooled system. And under full load never peaks over 35C.... I am currently only running stock speeds!
I am impressed with the X2 3800+ I got two weeks ago, it really began to shine once I hooked it up to my watercooling.
I'm now running completely stable @ 2.85GHz with two instances of Folding @ Home 24/7. 51C is a tad bit high but I'll be working at lowering the voltage this weekend.
I encourage you to do the world a favor by running Folding @ Home on your 'rig, THGC is team 40051.
