[quote="Captain Wilkins":98cf8]I had a similar problem, except with an Athlon XP2500. Had to over clock it in BIOS, now it runs pretty good. My only question is: Is 50 degrees unusually hot for an Athlon to run at? Because my processor generally runs at that, so, anyone who knows about the heat tolerances of Athlons, if you could reply back here, that'd be great cool:[/quote:98cf8]

50 C is fine, the max is 70 C for Athlon XP, it says it in my manual
