Many thanks for everybody who answered my question.
Short resume is following:
1. x86_64 is really the only affordable platform( sure it depends on
definition of "affordable" but anyway people got it right);
2. Good idea is cleaning off the dust from the box and check thermal paste;
3. Is the
How a simple good question can turn into a long debate.
I think you need to study your needs along with the current technology.
Modern processors will not burn - they will reduce power consumption when
they overheat.
Also, modern CPUs utilize less power. There are new multicores that go as
low to

Quite a few times. Back at the time when I had an nvidia card (GeForce 4 MX
AGP), I noticed that:

I understand that you may dislike the fact that the good, fast drivers
NVIDIA provide for Linux are proprietary, and the open source drivers
suck in comparison. Is it a good reason to dispar

Hi Shimon -
I would like to point out that (as Nadav did already) that perhaps (if this
is early enough in the development cycle), a GPU might be a good choice.
Even your *current* off-the-shelf graphics card might be "faster" that your
4-core CPU for certain types of computations. For only a few

What's "affordable" and what is "heavy number crunching"?
For most large-scale scientific/engineering number-crunching physical

Hi,
IMHO, the 4 core (or 4/8 core) is what you need.
what you describe should not happen.
If the system in under warranty, use it.
if not there are several options:
if the system is old replacing the thermal paste between the processor
and the heat sink might help.
when the thermal paste is ol

It is possible that x86-64 is not the "ultimate" platform for numb
Just get a well cooled case. Opening the case is NOT a good idea. The
Airflow will not be as good as a well planned computer case that is designed
for a good air flow, plus you enjoy all the dust into your computer (dust
also disturbs proper airflow).

Hi Shimon
1. I have a feeling you will anyway need to improve the fans/replace the box
to a larger one (much more effective than air conditioning).
2. I suggest asking in gamers forums, those who overclock their machines.
However, the first thing they do is open the box's sides (for better air

x86-64 multicore. It seems that multicore systems have problems with
cooling (physically it is pretty clear). My current amd-64 4-core
machine works fine only if less than 2 cores have 100% load. Rougly
