How much thermal paste did you use? Remember, you only need a wafer thin layer. It seems odd because my Q6600 is clocked at 3GHz on a stock Intel fan baking nicely inside a mATX case with a 4870 and it's only reaching 58 degrees playing FSX which is pretty much maxing all the cores.
I can see the standards running together for a while. I don't think they would merge, and I wouldn't want them too because that might stagnate the physics side of games.
I would go with the Gateway and as it's got Windows 64bit installed the 6GB will be utilised. Watch out for software incompatibilities with 64bit though.
Yep, they will, just the way of the world I'm afraid. I wouldn't wait for Windows 7 either. They are targeting a Q4 2009 RTM so expect it to be Q4 2010ish lol.
