It used some kind of thermal tape that melted when it ran to bond the two together. Is this inferior to thermal paste? Should I scrape it off and replace it?
That aside, I still would rather have processors run cooler even at the sacrifice of some speed. I have heard that Motorola processors usually run cooler that Intel processors at comparable performance (not necessarily clock speed). Is this true?
Yes, that would be a good idea. However, the only x86 based solution that comes close to what you desire is the VIA Eden, plus they come in miniITX, just a thought.
