This heatsink won't fit my A7M266. I have an XP1800 can anyone suggest a good heatsink for OC'ing I am planning on unlocking the XP.

Agreed...
Oh, and a quick, exceptionally stupid question due to the fact that I actually OWN the AX-7..
Will the AX-7 fit on any mobo? or are there certain ones it won't fit? I only ask this because I may be upgrading my processor soon and I'd need a new motherboard, too :\

I sure feel dumb :[

Almost any, there's a good fit list compiled here.

I dont think that will help either, cause I think the Swifty is just as large as the Alpha.

What does it interfere with on the motherboard? Might it be anything a Dremel tool could take care of? The 8045 bumped into a capacitor on my Shuttle AK35GTR board; I was able to grind away enough to allow it to fit just fine.

I don't know exactly. I was told it would not fit guess I should check for myself

Yeah, cause sometimes the reason for "would not fit" is like that it rubs a capacitor pretty hard - the heatsink could easily be sanded down to fit.
