Oops, it should be "Core" Temperature not "Case" Temperature below.
The AMD Athlon Processor Model 4 Data Sheet summary on page 71 also
made this typo and I blindly copied it. --Eric

>>The old Athlon reads:
>> A1133AMS3C
>> AVIA 0115TPAW
>> 95262550081

>>The new (non working) one:
>> A1200AMS3C
>> AXIA 0121RPDW
>> 95987660990
