The CPU temp looks high, but not damaging. A discussion on some list,
maybe here, said up to 60C (140F) is acceptable. However, I notice a
lot of PCI cards are specified to only up to 40C (104F). Athlons do
run hot and need more cooling than a Pentium.

I just replaced my motherboard/processor. Had a 300mhz Pentium II and swapped it with an AMD Athlon 2000+. I am having trouble in that the system crashes after an hour or so of use. Runs all night if left alone.
I added an extra fan to the case. BIOS reports CPU at 125 degrees F, case at about 95 degrees F. Is this too hot?
Is it possible I should be using a different kernel for Athlon?
