Jason,
Easiest way is to swap the ram into the other box to find out! - from your
description above that's where it should be anyways! <grin>
In theory the processor and associated circuitry is doing more work as it
has the refresh cycles to run in more memory, plus address line loading etc.

I'm not sure on the raq where it gets the cpu temp from anyway, if the K6
has an internal sensor or if it is just using a thermistor in the immediate
vicinity of the cpu to collect the data, in which case it could just be the
amount or lack of thermal paste on one sensor that accounts for the
difference.
