nice article on overclockers.com about the ol toaster over (PRESCOTT)
those hoping to buy one and overclock it.. well lets just say keep the fire department on speed dial
this would make even AMDMELTDOWN cringe...

quote i found interesting..
""Given that Prescott will be not too much over 100 sq. mm, we're talking about twice the wattage per sq. mm that the cool-by-comparison Thunderbirds used to chew up. ""
""On top of that, trying to get 130-150 or more watts into the CPU could quite possibly make voltage regulators do new, exciting things like melt a few layers deeper into the motherboard. SPMDS (Sudden Prescott Motherboard Death Syndrome) could become a new acronym; cooling of the voltage regulators will probably become essential for the non-suicidal overclocker."
