RE: <Does the heatsink/fan combination in this picture of an Athlon plugged into a motherboard seem normal, or heavy duty to you? It is supposed to be a Thunderbird. watch.impress.co.jp > Slot A Athlons usually have a heatsink which is the size of 2 fans. This may be a socketed chip, only a little bigger than a socket 7 chip. Because of its smaller package, it can only use one fan. Like Mani said, the fins are much longer than typical. I suspect this is what you have to do to get the heat out of a smaller package like a Socket A, but its still not big by slotted CPU standards. Petz
