I have a new AMD Sempron 2200+ 1.5GHz, 333MHz FSB and I am wanting to find a heatsink/fan unit to keep it cool.

I have checked several sites (newegg.com, zipzoomfly.com) and can't seem to find units that talk about Sempron processors, the heatsinks I find give specs for Athlon 64, Duron, etc and since I am relatively new at learning about keeping processors cool I need some guidancein finding one that will keep it cool and is relatively inexpensive.

Anyone have some suggestions or links to places I can find the right heatsink for this thing?

Thanks. Justin

Well, since that is a socket A processor, all you need to do is look for a heatsink fan combo that support socket A/ socket 370 processors, should retail around $10~$15 (I'm guessing here since I don't live in US).

Most also say "Cools up to Athlon XP 3200+" or something smilar, if it supports anything above like a 2500+ it should work swell with your processor.

Hope this helps.
