    Which heatsink did you use, as I managed to bust a pin on my DFI one and the little blue thing I got from maplin aint exactly cutting it, 55 is a little to high for me.

    it is a big gamble though from the rumours... and DDR2 seems to be improving by the minute, but you could have the last laugh at the bandwagon-jumpers

    I really don't see the point in that.

    AM2 really just isn't an option IMO. If you have to do a full upgrade, which most will need to do if they are going AM2, then you might as well get Conroe.

    just one of those zalman blue aluminium ones, they are square with long square fins and about 3-4 quid from most places. you just get a pair of needle nose pliers and snap off the fins so that your graphics card isnt touching (obviously) and it works, i might have pics of how it looked somewhere.
