GlobalWin FOP32-1 is for Socket A, so get FOP32 instead if you are going for that brand.

Alpha FC-PAL35 is for motherboards with socket while PEP66 is designed for use with a slocket adapter.

http://www.2cooltek.com/socket_test.html has some numbers you can compare. The Alpha FC-PAL35 is the same heatsink as the PAL6035 with 4 additional stands. PEP66's cooling performance is a tad bit better than FC-PAL35 according to Alpha's website.

I'm using the HedgeHog 238A to cool my P3 650 @ 1021MHz.

Pure Copper isn't the best though. It holds a whole lot of heat, but the Alphas with the Copper centers and Aluminum fins are probably the best.

Get the Alpha pal35t if you have a socketed board. They work great!
