You should be able to, but it depends - if you are running a FX62 and a 8800GTX, then it might struggle.
If its Core2Duo it should manage, as they run cooler  Though again, the more heat dumped into the system the harder its gotta work.. |

P4s run hot, but I doubt the x1650 is gunna pump out a massive amount of heat. I'd wait on the official word, but I wouldn't see it as being a massive problem.

Your 2.4ghz CPU should be a Northwood Core either 533mhz or 800mhz fsb. The Nautilus will cool it and the listed video card easily. The "500" in Nautilus 500 denotes that it is intended to dissipate up to 500 heat watts effectively.
