Re: New CPU?
Aftermarket coolers generally cool much better, and therefor keep your processor cooler. The big difference between the C2D and the Pentium is the architecture. The Core 2 Duo uses the new Core architecture, which does much more work per clock than the Pentium 4 Netburst. Also, its not the watts that make the difference. what it is is, most Pentium 4s (the prescott for example) are made on the .090um or 90nm process, which is how big the transistors inside are. the smaller they are, the cooler they run. the 65nm process uses much less power and puts out much less heat than the inefficient 90nm process.
