I can say that you are quite right about the above.  I just finished building a
rack mount server last week with a Core Duo 2.4G processor with copper pipe
cooling running Win 2003 64 bit.  It runs cooler than any server I've ever owned
and performs very well. The fans are running on slow speed all of the time.  It
is a domain controller and also supports a SQL Server 2005 Enterprise 64 bit
installation.  tell you bosses (engineers) good work...
