Understand it's a dual Pentium Pro system, with heat sinks definitely larger than the old Pentiums. I noticed on taking a very, very careful closer look, that the heatsinks had been installed sans the usual white silicone heatsink compound, which I have on hand (having used on previous systems). Is there some reason on the PPro that the silicone hadn't been applied, or should I neatly smear some on? Thanks. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
