I would strongly recommend the Vulcan fan, it will change its speed depending on the heat being generated. My Athlon is only 1.8 GHZ but the fan has never shifted into high speed. Also, I would recommend using the processor goo which helps dissipate heat from the processor and fan.

Some of this stuff is so new it's hard to know the answers. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tusing" <ptusing@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, January 16, 2004 1:33 PM Subject: Re: jaws and processor speed: HI, I ask 2 questions as the Athlon chips are close together in price and the 2.5 mhz Athlon is $90 with the Intel 2.8 at around $230--not mucch compared with what we paid 2 years Would the performance of the 3 chip bethat much superior to that of the 2.5 chip if one uses Access 32 or Eloquence, streaming radio and Office with X P? And could some ofthose heat issues be "less" now that the chips are .13 micron instead of .18 micron supposedly making them "cooler"? In all these questions, I have in mind the use of JAWS and applications that seem to require more ram and more power over the years. thanks to every one. ago! ----- Original Message ----- From: "trouble" <trouble1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, January 16, 2004 11:46 AM Subject: Re: jaws and processor speed: > For this answer I would say anything around 3 and below your good to > go for > prices.
