Sure wish one of those utilities would monitor the motherboard and sensors I
have.  Ah ha! That one lists the i815EM!  Finally...  Thanks so much for
posting that URL!

Seems I read someplace that AMD's are run hotter than equivalent clockrate
Intel's, the Athlon anyway.  Same for Duron?  I couldn't say, not sure
anyhow.  My DELL notebook is a PIII at 800Mhz and I suspect it isn't wholly
stable, but a well-fanned tower case must be very different.
