the funkiness of his new linux box thusly:

Cool. Hmmm, you might be able to help me out here...

Like probably quite a few others on the list, I'm thinking seriously about
purchasing myself a shiny new dual Celeron box very soon now. I wasn't
actually intending to play with overclocking the CPUs until then novelty of
measuring kernel compiles in minutes instead of 0.5-1 hours had worn off :).

However, your comment above makes me wonder... are you actually overclocking
your CPUs at the moment? If not, did you really need to purchase the
(extra?) fans?  Or is it just a good idea to have extra cooling stuff
happening for a dual CPU box in any case?

Oh, and just for a bonus annoying question :), what is this i2c stuff? Some
sort of CPU/mboard information utility?

like, ``Eat thou not of this. If thou eatest of this, thou shalt surely
die.'' Or something like that.
