thermal protection for AMD

[Guest]

I read the following comment in THG review site on KT333 motherboards.

"Note: AMD won't be requiring thermal protection for Athlon CPUs until June 10, so we've not included this new feature here."

Does it mean its a bad idea to buy motherboards with out this feature (like Gigabyte 7VRXP)?

Thanks, nram

Not at all, it just means that the majority of boards before then won't have AMD's thermal protection. Thermal protection is nice, but not a necessity.
