airman Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 hmm...that board's not the best, but it will do. For now. unfortunately i don't believe that you'll be doing any overclocking. so in other words, if you can't afford anything else, it'd atleast be worth it to go ahead and get a RETAIL cpu, so it comes with a heatsink and heatsink bracket. and then once you get some more money, sell that board you currently have, and get a better one.

Fanatic Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 I can't find it now, but if you search the web you can find a heatsink bracket and buy it sep. When I bought my Thermalrightxp120 it came with alternate bracket. So if you can spend a few bucks, you might as well buy a better heatsink and get the bracket at the same time.
