I am running this processor on my Mandrake box and it runs fine....BUT, I must say that the installation of the boxed-fan was a NIGHTMARE!!!!!! The system the fan uses in order to fasten itself to the motherboard couldn't be worse!! You have to use brute force on some pins to really get them to go in, and when they do, you are not really sure if they are in or not. I was afraid the whole time that the motherboard was going to crack from the pressure I had to excert to get the fan in!

The other point is that I question how physically stable this set up will be, and when/if that processor is going to hold.....

I paid Euros 164,00 <--- I put this here because in the form you can only use dollars :-( It would be a lot easier if you could fill in your currency and have a script convert it to the major currencies....just a thought....
