That aside, the AMD is the bigger bang for buck.

my cpu fan failed, on my 2000, and it only ran up to 120... which i hear is somewhat normal for people...
but... its now at a nice toasty 44 
I have 2 dead athlon XP's from running too hot... yeah I was overclocking but hey I got RMA numbers so all is good.
