   True. But it is hard to know where to look. I haven't tried it with
another CPU, the cache is on the motherboard, and the RAM is 64MB of
SDRAM. And I haven't seen anything else die. It should be cooled well
enough: it is an ATX motherboard in an ATX case with the cpu fan and
an extra case fan. I'll have to come up with some other CPU-intensive
tasks to run to see if I can get them to fail.
