[CLUE-Tech] Detecting possible hardware failures

[Grant Johnson]

I know this.  I had some troubles the first day with Heather's new 
machine.  Now it has a 400 watt power supply and 7 cooling fans.  It 
sounds like a runway at DIA, but it runs cool and doesn't spaz.   I also 
underclocked the 1Ghz to 800Mhz to make it run even cooler, but it still 
out-benchmarks my 900Mhz P4 at work or my coworker's 1.7Ghz P4.
