Thanks for the advice.

It is running X.4 fine, I like X.4, and so I am happy for the present. If it starts to crash, I will indeed take it apart and do some additional work. However, I had already done much of what has been mentioned in order to get it going in the first place (which would have sometime over the past autumn/winter, and so within the past 6-8 months). Posted about it way back.

I do recall that fresh heatsink compound made a huge difference to the machine, with CPU temperatures dropping about 10ºC immediately. I think I am going to do apply it to the dual 2GHz machine in the office, in fact, as its CPU temperatures are regularly hitting 55-62ºC, whereas the dual 1.8 CPUs tend to hover around 40ºC. The 2GHz machine, however, is very stable running X.5.
