thanks and my issues are these. If there is a tendancy to get overheating, and if I want a system for using Office while doing streaming audio and burning DVDs later on: is there a point where one is somehow inviting overheating? My choices are Athlons at 2, 2.5 and 2.8 and the Intel equivalent microprocessors. I do not often replace computers and my choice is and must work for a long, long time. Obviously one wants enough chip power to go the distance, but this overheating issue is new to me and has me rethinking speed. Is there "no" overheating issue with JAWS 4.51 "patched" which is fantastic?
