    hi there
    i just bought a palomino xp 2100+ for cheap to replace the duron 900mhz currently in my computer. i hear lots of people saying that these chips run almightily hot, and some saying that they run fine under athlons stock cpu coolers.
    only prob is I was given this computer by a mate and have no idea if its a standard amd cpu fan, and in any case, wether its capable of running a 2100 instead of a duron.
    basically does anyone have a good suggestion for a cpu cooler and heatsink?
    im looking for something QUIET AS POSSIBLE because this comp. will be used for music production (wont be OC'ed btw). im already running an 80mm fan at the front and one at the back, just need some hints
    thank you very much :cool:
