I wonder if that might be what leads to the failure of the L2 cache
in the processor, as is the problem with mine (According to Gauge Pro, mine
runs at 55-65 Celcius). Is a fix possible of something like this, or am I
stuck with replacement of the processor? Anyone have a spare 333 or other
replacement processor on hand? TIA.
