What is the difference between the Zalman 7000-cu and Zalman 7000a-cu?

About $5 difference on PW and I was wondering what the big deal was.

The "a" version has support for Athlon XP cpus as well as P4 and A64, while the original only supports P4 and A64.

What beatle said. Just out of curiosity, which one is cheaper for you? The 'A' version is cheaper where I shop.

And $33 is the cheapest I can find any Zalman 7000 cooler. Unles anyone know someone selling a used one.
