ahh..thanks soo much for the clarification. about my temp being 95F fir my cpu...well now its 96.8F but still... when i got my new amd 2000+ cpu (1.67GHZ, 266FSB) it didnt come with a heatsink/fan. so i bought one seperatly, and to be extra cautious, and so if i upgrade later...i bought a heatsink/fan that is ment to work with upto an amd 3000+ barton processor. (2.16ghz (2.??..16 i think) 400fsb). so now its extra cool! :) thanks, farrell f.
