The TM5600 is a little dogdy - it'll go well over 55C running Seti at home
etc., and often, it's about half the speed of a C3, clock for clock
(depending on what you are doing). You would be better off going for a C3,
and just clocking it back to a 66Mhz bus (1/3 the speed, under half the
heat).
With a decent video chipset (something that'll do hardware scaling at
least), a C3 should be more than sufficent. I'd trust it so much more than
a transmeta chip...
