[NTLUG:Discuss] is an AMD XP the same as a Celeron????

[Paul Drew]

Howdy,
I have been an AMD guy for quite a few years now, and I have to say that I 
have NEVER ever had a heat issue once. I also tend to be pretty anal about 
ventilation, airflow, higher end heatsinks, and fans. I am always running 
pretty cool with no issues. I do have lots of friends who are either unlucky 
or have crappy setups because they have horrible heat issues all the time. 
But, I know P4 people with the same issues though.
