One thing i will ask if for one of you to recommend a heatsink? or whether i can get by with the stock heatsink that comes with the cpu?

too bad i don't know anyone in the pc store world to hook me up doh!

I would recommend the stock one that comes with the retail..

you can get a Globalwin - Vantec or any of them but usually they have more noise as they are a high speed fan.

Barton 2500 chip is easily overclockable ... without breaking it. And you don't need a CPU heatsink because retail chips come with heatsinks, the "STOCK" Barton heatsinks are decent (copper bottom for SURE, possibly all copper).

Buy DDR400 RAM, costs the same or less than DDR333.
