arctic silver (Which one?!)

[jameshanley39]

I have Arctic Alumina premium ceramic polysynethic thermal compound.
And a smaller tube of arctic silver 5 high density polysynethetic
silver thermal compound.

Wha's the difference? are they applied differently?

cpu is amd athlon xp 3000+

I get the lowest full load cpu temps on my AMD XP by using a plastic bag
over my finger and dab the thermal paste on the cpu core like face
make-up until the paste is a super thin see-through coating.
