Re: [Sheflug] Cpu stuff

[David Holden <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxx>]

I seem to recall last time I checked it said 50 deg. C on one of our 
dual athlons.

I think the 1700+ is meant to say this chip is equivalent in power to a 
pentium running at 1700Mhz so I don't think you are being cheated here 
but don't quote me on that :)
