I have the Athalon 1700+, I just had a problem where it is 1 year

overheated it.
Everything is factory and I have already replaced the powersupply
once. It
is important to note that an Athalon 1700+ has a top speed of 1.44
Ghz but
mine is running 1.1Ghz... NOT 1.7Ghz, I don't like athalon for this
reason,
they lead you on... go for a pentium.


That has nothing to do with the Athlon, it's most likely a specific
motherboard problem, else you got another questionable power supply.
If it'd been a Pentium CPU, all else being equal, you'd have the
same
problem.

Nope... A P4 chip is smart enough to slow down if it's overheating.
