It'd be hillarious if Microsoft, Dell and all adopt PowerPC, and PPC then beats the s**t out of Intel like Intel did when Apple had PowerPC.Cause, I honestly miss watching Mac Fanboy's defend their once inferior hardware.
This still doesn't fix the problem of actually generating more heat with slightly more performance improvements... A 1U server now puts out more heat than a 6U did five years ago... sure it's a bit faster, but man, we're running out of places to put A/C units for our equipment! :-)
Well, from the little I understand about thermal pastes is that it can take a few weeks before it actually reaches its full potential. Meaning that by replacing it every 6 weeks you are probably in fact making things worse.

@vmercLearn to read, and you'll notice the "her" is IBM.

The channels are put in at the bottom of the heatsink. That's what the picture tells me.

here is a no brainer; superior thermal conductivity using nanotechnology by efficiently aligning the graphite molecules

Quite doubtful. My dog loves it :)

Impossible! Things never change.
