Is Athlon XP 1700+ much cooler than Athlon 1300?
My Athlon 1300 (t-Bird?) is running a little hot, touching 81degC
under load. I was wondering about buying a better cooler, but thought for around the same money I could get an XP 1700+ So: - will it be much cooler? It seems early ones were rated around 50 , but I gather the current model has a t-bird 'b' core @1.6V, and I don't know the power usage for this. - can I use it with 133Mhz SDRAM, not DDR. I guess i'll have to dig out more details about my motherboard aswell. ta, rob |
