What brand of fans and CPU cooler do you use?
Actually, my old Athlon 850 was running a £25 cooler and my new £8 CoolerMaster cooler on an Athlon XP 2000+ runs the CPU cooler and WAY quieter! It's a Coolermaster CP5-8JD1F-0L and has a super-quiet 80mm fan which keeps my CPU under 55c, apparently it's good for CPU's up to the 3200+. It'll fit all SocketA CPU's so if you're Athlon 1Ghz is running noisy it may be worth a look!
