the title says it all. the 733 is $18 (with shipping) and the 734 is $28 (with shipping) from the taisol store. i don't really want to drop 30 bucks for a heatsink/fan but i realize that this is not the part i should go cheap on, since i managed to put together a pretty nice rig as a college student with a negative income. basically, has anyone seen a review comparing these two? is there a big difference? if i get the 733, will it be good enough to stick around for future upgrades? presently it would be used for a tbird 900@100 @1.75 volts.

ok, i found a link that compares them. the result was about 1 degree idle and 2-3 degrees under load. i think i'll get the 733.

The 733 does a good job BUT if your case cooling is not the best consider something better. I wouldn't go with the 734, go with the new CGK, its expensive but performs really well.
