939 Heatsink Compatibility?

Does anyone know of any currently available, relatively quiet, heatsinks that are compatible with Socket 939 mobos. Would a socket 754 Heatsink work? Or maybe a 940 Heatsink?

I'm particularly interested in the Zalman 7000A-AlCu since I have a Socket A with a noisy fan I'd like to get rid of. I will be upgrading to an A64 (most likely) around Christmas, so I'll probably be getting a 939 Mobo and was hoping that the Zalman would be compatible. I am open to other options though, so if anyone knows of any low noise heatsinks that would fit both a Socket A and a 939, I'd like to hear about them. I've seen a couple of those crazy tower things @ newegg, but I'm not a FAN (hehe) of their size or weight.

Thanks,
D'oh!

Yeah, but I was thinking I'd be able to replace the loud one on my current XP 1800+ and enjoy the silence until X-mas at which point I'd be able to take it off the XP and put it on the A64.

Really though, I'm just looking for some rationalization to buy stuff. I'm having a hard time waiting til Christmas.

Thermalright SLK948. A whole lotta copper, and it WILL mount on SocketA, P4 and Athlon64 setups.

I think the S939 chips are the same size as S754, so heatsinks compatible with one are compatible with the other.
