Quite frankly, sir, you are ill-informed, since these thermal pastes do far more than your standard stuff you get from AMD or Intel (I'm not sure if Intel provides a thermal pad, I'm sure they do, but I've never bought an Intel processor), or buy on the internet that doesn't contain silver.

Here are some links for you to check out to see just how much of a difference these tubes make:

Mikhailtech review, EXHardware review/comparison of pastes, Overclockers Club review/comparison, ClubOC review/comparison.

There are many more reviews and comparisons. I chose to do a Google search for 'review "arctic silver 3"' and those were pretty much the first hits I got. In an overclocked system where stability and cooling is important, these pastes could make all the difference. In a standard system, these help prolong the life of the computer's parts.

Oh, and before I forget, the links I just posted more or less compare Arctic Silver stuff with either other Arctic Silver products, or competing products. If you want to see just how much of a difference these compounds can make from the regular thermal pads or thermal compound that uses silicone, Check this out. That's a whopping 10 degrees celsius difference the Arctic Silver has on full load compared to a standard thermal pad, and 5 degrees difference from standard thermal compound w/silicone.

I personally use AS3, and so does my father. With this paste I can safely overclock my Athlon 2000+ to an Athlon 2600+. Not that I do, mind you, because even though I can, I'd rather know that my system is well cooled, rather than adequately.

Now if only Toshiba managed to come up with a version of the software that runs on 802.11 WiFi handhelds like the e800/e805

Toshiba does not provide support for it's customers and even re-negs on advertising promises. Many people will no longer be buying from them - including me, my family and any corporate/educational group that I work for and have purchasing decision power with.

The release date of April 22 was released a long time ago

(ie: January 21, 2003, just incase you didn't get the picture)

To disable XP's zip support, perform the following steps:

1. Select Run from the Start menu and enter regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\zipfldr.dll
2. Click OK.
3. Restart the computer.

I don't know whether there's any spyware in Windows or not

You do now. In fact since IE v5, Alexa has been spying on you. I guess they must really despise competition if they forbid other remote management software (in the XP EULA).
