ok. I been hearing such good things about the Sythe Ninja hsf, so I took a look at it and it looks like a cross between the heatsink/fan I have, the Aerocool HT-101 (something I got for free w/ my cpu) and the hsf I use to have - the AC Freezer 64.

About the only differences I see is 1.) the Aerocool has Copper plates and the Scythe doesn't, and 2.) the Scythe has double the heatpipes to the Aerocool.

Can anyone tell me if there is a big performance difference between them or not? I was thinking about buying 1 (Scythe Ninja) to go along with my dfi ultra-d and opteron 144 that I'm getting, or should I stick with the Aerocool HT-101? I'm looking to overclock the hell out my 144 (might trade in my OCZ Plat pc3200 for some pc4000 also).

Hmm...I would still go with the Scythe Ninja. Proven performance with a good price as well.
