[PLUG] Athlon update


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Heh, I just figured out what the problem was.  The morons who designed the 
case decided to have the main heatsink force air through this mesh that is on 
the inside of the heatsink.  Well it got gummed up with so much lint and dust 
that the fan was not cooling the CPU enough.  Thanks to sensors I was able to 
deduce that this was the problem, the Core temp was about 58 C when the 
system would start to flake out. Now that the heatsink is clean the system 
hovers arround 45C under heavy load.

Thanks all for the hints on the memory thing.  FYI to turn off the memory bug 
in the athlon you should pass:
		 mem=nopentium
in your lilo options.  This is only a workarround, and it basicly saves you 
from haveing to upgrade your kernel.

Cheers
