Which Thermalright HSF combo would you got with for the best cooling/quiet setup? I don't know much about fans, so any recommendations for a fan to combo w/ any of these HS would appreciated. The main reason I'm asking is b/c i'm afraid of compatibility issues. I've done some research online and all products listed below were recommended.

SK-7
SLK-800u
SLK-947u
SLK-900a
SLK-900u

in this link provided by newegg, it states that the slk-900a is for amd barton 2800+ and up. does that mean my 2400+ mobile barton won't be able to use it? i didn't think there was much difference b/w the chips in the barton line. any thoughts?

The 947U and 900U are basically the same thing, just the base has been changed to accommodate the whole P4 IHS, and the heatsink has been made shorter and a little wider in the 947. I'll vote for the 947U just because it provides greater compatibility and you can still use it if you wanna go P4, also its bolt on :).
