Both of these are the best that exist, and they're reasonably priced, along with free shipping at the moment.

which one is better? how much better is it compared to my FOP38?

man, $40 for a heatsink is a lot, heh. my Duron 1800 -> XP2200+ only cost $25.

Well, they're comparable in heat dissipation, but the SLK-900a is the only one with mounting clips. The 947u has to be mounted thru the motherboard, so if yours doesn't have the 4 mounting holes near the cpu, you'll have to get the 900a. Oh, and it's good enough to OC a Barton to 2.5ghz, and keep it around the low-40's at idle, I hear.
