MSI K7T Power/Pro/Pro2/Pro2-A/Turbo/Turbo2/Turbo Limited E..

My home computer CPU seems to be running hot at 63C and I don't fully
understand the voltage readings I have. The information below was taken
from AIDA32 and matches the information I see when I go into the BIOS upon
start up. What is the +2.5v circuit for? I'm only showing 0.34V. I may be
worrying about nothing but if there is a problem I would like to correct it
before I have a system failure when I can least afford it.

I am also looking to build another computer with an AMD2600XP I bought at a
really good price. I have everything to put the new unit together with the
exception of the motherboard. Any suggestions about the mobo that has
proven to be the most stable with this processor? I would like to stay
below $125 if that is possible. My regular store has the KT4A Ultra MS-6590
at $89 and recommends that board but I would really appreciate some feedback
before making the decision to buy.
