I've got a few questions. First, although ECC Registered RAM is not required by Socket 939, can you still use it and gain its benefits in a Socket 939 board?

Second, all of your graphs show that the processors with Cool'n'Quiet enabled run cooler even at full load than with it disabled. Does this seem to be because the processor hasn't had enough time at full voltage to catch up in heat? I'm asking because when I upgrade to a Socket 939 system, it will be folding for me 24/7 and I'm wondering whether it's useful for me to turn Cool'n'Quiet on at that time - if load temps will really be lower even with full load full time conditions, then that really IS a feat.

The most common Cool'n'Quiet glitch I've seen so far is the fact that my A64 notebook can't run at above 800 MHz on battery NO MATTER WHAT LOAD. But I'm not sure if the socket 754 notebooks use Cool'n'Quiet, or still use PowerNow...
