Back at the turn of the millenium, when I still built my own computers rather than buying them off the shelf, this was my processor. It was my first processor faster than 1gig and I was a big fan of AMD for making that kind of power affordable. Today it's so much junk. I shelved the machine when the motherboard went bad and finally got around to recycling it last weekend but I couldn't let this CPU go - it sits on my desk - a reminder of our recent and evolving past.
I measured temps inside the CPU cabinet with the doors open, closed and with the computer asleep. Worst case (as expected) was with the door closed and CPU running.
The temp in the cabinet was 100F and rising.
With the addition of the fans it just about gets over 80F so about a 20F reduction, the temps are now about normal.
Got an older Intel CPU die from ebay to look at under the microscope. Grinding/dissolving to expose a die from a CPU was too much trouble, so I found someone selling these that never made it to being packaged.

The heart of a modern computer: the silicon CPU-chip.
Here is an 2004 Intel Pentium M (centrino) CPU.
It is a bit damaged, but you can distinguish some parts of the physical architecture.
Sun server was quite the rage back in the late 90's. From looking at this, it seems to be a blast from the past. Now that Sun is lessening their use of the SPARC CPU and leaning more toward Intel CPU, how will it be any different from a Dell (not even a HP ProLiant class from build quality and design engineering side)?
