I have been cooked eggs on AMD AthlonXP 2100+

Tell your friend to stop boiling oil on his Athlon to fry eggs - it will make less noise if he puts the retail HSF in place (and stay cooler too). Plus, his new motherboard won't shut down when the pan gets too hot.

If you are having trouble getting your P4 hot enough to cook the eggs, you must not be installing the frying pan correctly - you need to have a good thermal connection or the P4 will go into thermal shock mode an throttle down the proc to prevent it from heating up. Your eggs will never cook this way. Since the P4 gets hotter than Athlon stock tempuratures, he must be doing something wrong. Make certain that the portion of the pan that is touching the P4 is lapped correctly (copper pans are best), that the HSF retention mechanism isn't piping heat off to the motherboard (it should be insulated from the HSF) and use a *very* small amount of Arctic Silver to aid in heat transfer. Overclocking the P4 to 2.5GHz could also help in obtaining the right temperature. If he gets sick of the burning oil smell, he can always go back to the stock HSF.

If the thought I thought I thought had been the thought I thought, I wouldn't have thought so much.

I'm thinking that *_man should be banned.

With the exception of AMD_Man of course...

LOL! Those *_man people are crazy!

You guys are gonna die eating them foods...just use it to heat your frozen waffles...they are the staple of the american bachelor (them and ramen noodles and mac&cheez)

In fact, if you properly design your air flow, you can channel the heat to exit only through the power supply, at which you can attach a toaster over like device for all your cooking needs, and much less of a chance of getting oil on your northbridge. I would suggest a custom fan in your PSU as the standards are usually not powerfull enough to handle proper dissipation of ALL the heat from the PC.

Has anyone ever eaten ramen noodles by the brand name of Smack?

<shudder>

I knew it was stupid to put anything named 'Smack' into my digestive system (not to mention just my mouth) but the price was so tempting that I couldn't resist experimenting... I guess you could say I was Smack-curious.

Oh the things I regret...

Them Smack Ramen's weren't so bad...but then again, I don't think when I ate that brand I could taste much of anything, as the alcohol kept the buds numb. and $.20 a piece! Krikey, that's high...they go on sale round here for $.04 and usually cost $.10-.15

After that, they become rich man food.

Mmmmmm....crablegs

Oops, Sorry about that!
