If your looking for a cool thermal solution for a 1.2 ghz athlon, I would suggest getting the taisol cgk742(inflowdirect.com). On the performance side they are comparable to the Alpha's and Global Wins, but they are significantly quieter and support the amd processors up to 1.5 ghz. And if you decide later that you want better performance at the cost of little noise, then all you have to do is buy a powerful additional fan and then you have a HSF that exceeds the performance of Alpha's and GlobalWins due to Taisol's large and extremely well designed heatsink. Go get one!
