I've never in my life built or used an AMD system but I'm upgrading my brother's PC with a socket A motherboard.
A friend of mine is giving me a 900mhz classic athlon to use on the board (MSI Turbo2).
My question is: Can I use any "Socket A" heatsink and fan with the athlon 900mhz chip? Also, would any socket A heatsink
& fan work with the new athlon xp line of chips? Just thought I'd ask before I hit the FS/FT section for a HS&F. I understand
that better HS&F units keep the chip cooler but I'm not worried about that with the 900mhz athlon. Thanks.
