About 1000 degrees C should incinerate it nicely - but seriously though I'm
concerned (as are many people) that these newer CPUs draw so much current
and run so hot. Personally, I'm going to wait for newer Intel CPUs which are
reputed to be based on the much cooler running and lower wattage Pentium 4
Mobile core (which is itself based on Pentium III designs apparently).
There's no way in the world that I'd consider basing my next Media Centre PC
on a Prescott CPU (unless I wanted it to heat the lounge as well).
