When the P4 came out, I turned it on and couldnt hear the music I was playing anymore. Stock cooling,as well as power consumption on those things is ridiculous.fuuck
My dads X64 AMD stock cooling seems decent. I didnt bother checking out the stock cooling on my X2, just slapped a Thermalright on it.
Matrox makes very good inexpensive fanless dual monitor AGP GPU's,good for saving PCI slots for DSP cards. Ive always used matrox never had a problem.
