You got a Northwood already? Wow.
Wich speed? Tried to overclock yet?

I lapped my PIII 700, and it didn't have a heat spreader. Lapping the core directly improves thermal transfer by reducing the thickness of the core substrate. I didn't see any significant improvment.

The Northwood will probably be my next system, particularly if it comes with DDR chipset. What mobo do you have?
