Sure, it will freeze, but is that actually a problem?
Expansion/contraction when changing states would probably crush/desocket most of the motherboard in the first few cycles
I would also guess that the specific heat of ice is much lower than liquid water
Circulation to prevent hot spots becomes a problem (imagine the CPU melts a quarter inch of ice from the block that it's in, then the water leaks away, how do you get more water/ice against the chip? Even if you do, see #1 again...:) )
That's what I could think of off the top of my head anyways...;)
I've got all these 4 and 8 gig RAM machines around here at work that don't even notice... Yeah, if you've only got 16 or 32 megs, you'll probably throw your machine into perpetual swap and your performance will degrade badly.
Yeah, I've got lots of big machines around too... But I think that this might be part of the reason we *need* the big machines...:) 14meg? Heck, netscape on this box dosen't have that much resident at the moment. There is some serious bloat in that client.
Cool! More proof that life imitates art. Can't wait 'til the day we have teleporters that make a chiming sound and we dress all the stupid people in red shirts.
Yikes, I hope it isn't like the red shirts in the first Star Trek. I don't wanna be one of the expendible people...:)

Whoops, you mixed up the definitions for a Teletubbie, a 3l1t3 d00d, and a Sysadmin...
Read Einstein, plus the intervening ~60 years worth of (astral|quantum)physics. Understand. Proceed. ;)
Bah, force the homepage on the browser to PETA and watch the reactions. :)
No. Not PETA, I said PETA.
Wahoo! Time to go buy another 256MB DIMM! VM's galore :) ! Ah well... at least RAM is cheap.

Way cool tho.
