Lynn, I have been to a Gateway store and I believe it has 2 coolers in the
box plus the heat sink. You might consider one of the extra after-market
super cooler fans if you are worried. I have not heard of any problems of
heat for the Athlons yet. I will be getting mine for a graduation present
in June :-) I am hoping the 1G Athlon and the super cooler are available
then. Check out Gateway's site for specifications. Personally, I think
you are making a good choice FWIW IMHO.
