Understood, it's just hard for me to believe that there is a 40C (70F) 
degree temperature difference between the die and the sensor that sits 
right under it.  The sensor is in fact sitting in a broiler oven, with 
the die as the heating unit.

Agreed.

Well, the jury's still out.  I can hardly fault the board if the stock 
mdk kernel was causing the problems.  After all, that kernel is designed 
for a 586 processor.  Red Hat may have worked better as it's a lower 
common denominator (i386).

Unfortunate that is though, since it'd be difficult to ask the average 
user to install mdk on an Athlon and then build a new kernel.

Anyone else running a stock mdk kernel on an Athlon (xp preferably). 
I'd be curious to see if others DON'T have this problem.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
