Thanks. I knew the temps had dropped post-P4, but I wasn't aware of quite how far. I could see the desire for an aftermarket cooler here, where even air conditioners can have some difficulty keeping ambient temps evened out, but it sounds like even the stock cooler would be workable.
Like I said, I wasn't expecting a miracle on the low end, but I figured I'd see what the general opinion was. If I do end up going Intel, I'm probably going to miss having onboard video. Yes, I know, I just said something heretical. I've had two video cards die on me in the last five years, and in both cases I've had to resort to the onboard video for awhile. I'm coming off the second case of that just now-- it's part of what's actually spurring this upgrade run.
