Upgrading from a P3-500E -> P3-933E cpu.. but since i bought the oem so no hsf came with it....
if its not recommended... which hsf should i buy? Doesn't have to be fancy.. just need to get the job done =)
thx for your suggestion...

I would say no. The 933 probably puts out at least 50% more heat....the stock HSF will not do. That said, any decent Socket 370/Socket A HSF out there will do just fine. I had a Global-Win FOP-32 on my old 1GHz TBird; it did quite well with it's quiet-ish 60-mm fan.
