ok, checked water temp, it's 24C at idle, guess the on die diodes aren't very acurate :\

the intel wins out in proformance tests quite clearly
i've been thinking about getting a 3.0 or 3.2 pentium 4, not sure yet, on the one hand they definatly are faster, on the other hand i've had nothing but bad luck with intel processors, everyone i've used never seemed to run anywhere as stable as the AMD's i've used, that's why i've pretty much stuck with AMD fo so long, hard to pass up the performance difference though, still got a few weeks before I start ordering stuff to make up my mind though
