The Taisol CGK or the GlobalWin FOP32/38's would be a better choice..........!

I have my doubts that this hsf will fit Socket 370's, Socket 7's AND Socket A's, like the web page lists ....................... ?
I was going to use one on my SS-7 mb/cpu but backed off, as it was way too hard to fasten the retaining clip (I don't want to break the zif-socket tabs off ) .........!
Might be a better fit on the Socket A ....... ???

Quad: Yes, the Cooler Master DP5-6H11 will keep your 950 T-Bird cool enough. In fact, I'm using that HSF with a Duron 700 overclocked to 1083MHz. The CPU temp generally hovers around 38C.

It's hard to realize that standard heatsinks (like most of the Cooler Master ones) are just as good (if not better) than the big boys (FOP-32, 38, etc.). I had an old Cooler Master.. Forgot which model number.. But it kept my Duron 900MHz at around 34 C. most of the time (at least that's what my motherboard monitor told me).

clumsum-
I was able to get this unit onto my P3700E but, like you said, it was a TIGHT fit. Works pretty well now -- about 8C lower than with retail HS/Fan under heavy load.
