Intel D2500

I received this MB today:

http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/...d-d2500cc.html

Installed flawlessly. One caveat... Although the Intel support forums, and Intel employees, confirm that the NM10 chip is meant to run hot, I would strongly urge those of you considering this system to passively cool the chip with a heatsink. Idle, the chip becomes too hot to touch. I have installed four small copper heatsinks and the slight airflow my planned case will generate will sufficiently cool this MB. NM10 gets very, very, very hot...

small case fan running @ 5V will work perfectly.
