2 years ago i buy a K6-III with a asus motherboard,since this time,the
temperature goes high , now i have 2 athlons 1ghz with asus A7V motherboard
and this time, the temperature is a problem too.
Why is suppose to do the "hlt instruction" in this motherboards?

Sorry for the OT post, But I want to warn everyone not to buy Asus motherboards for Athlons. They have been crippled by Asus itself to disable the HLT instruction.
Because of this your Athlon will run at hight temps even when idle. If you already own a board with this problem, please contact me, I'm trying to establish a group of dissatisfied users to make Asus resolve this, or recall the boards.
Kind regards
Guy
