I have just purchased an Athlon XP 2800+ - It will arrive in a few days. In the interim, I would like to know if I will need a different sink/fan combo and if is it difficult to swap the processor or not. did you get an oem or retail version of the cpu ? retail comes with hsf, oem not. if it's easy …

the 1800 and the 2800 sempron both have a 256 L2 cache, it's the barton thats got the 512 L2. also you can get a 3000+ that's 333 fsb 🤑
