[Duo2400] 'New' 2400 G3/240 with cache problems?

[BG]

The error message is related to the G3 upgrade and the OS.

You can switch to the old drivers for the upgrade or learn to live with 
the error message. It is harmless nothing is wrong with the computer.

Your temperature will vary depending on processor load, hard drive 
type(re Speed) applications running, air flow around the 2400c etc. Not 
a problem unless you get a thermal related shutdown.
