Pete, <The idiots place socket 370 coolers onto socket 462 CPUs and expect them to work.> I'm not up on my heatsink technology, but the last time I looked for a cooler for my Socket 370 Celeron, I found a bunch of heatsink/fans which said they worked both on Socket 7 and on Socket 370. If there really needs to be different heatsinks for different sockets, the issue needs to be addressed more properly than it is right now. Anyway, isn't AMD supposed to be reusing some of the infrastructure available to Slot 1 and Socket 370? Seems like if Socket A processors can't use heatsinks made for Socket 370, AMD will have a minor infrastructure problem on their hands. Tenchusatsu
