CPU cooling upgrade

[ding5550123]

Sometime in the near future I will upgrade My CPU's cooling. I was wondering what coolers do good. It's an Intel P4 HT @ 3.06 GHz Price range is about $50 willing to go to $100

I wouldn't bother upgrading the cooler on that cpu. You might want to save your money towards a CPU/motherboard upgrade. Fry's has an X2 3800+ with motherboard for $89 and an E4300 with mobo for $129. Spending $100 on that old cpu when you could move to a new, tremendously faster, dual-core system for cheap would be a waste of cash.

agreed. No point in spending money on your old generation setup. Spend ~200 and get the new generation with 4 times the performance.
