P4s only masquerade as microprocessors. They're actually very
efficient RF-powered heating devices. You vary their temperature by
varying the frequency of the applied RF.
I've found that's about the only thing they do well. ;)

ok, tell you
what.... you come up here to illinois where its 2
degrees F
(around -14 with windchill), and I'll go down there to FL :). I
have the
heat vent in my room blocked, and i'm at about 82, I have two dell
600sc
servers (both p4), an old compaq PII running as router, and a dell P4
desktop machine, along with a home theater audio amp.
P4s are the worst for heat.
