XP 2500 to XP 3000 - Heatsink and Fan upgrade?
Hello People
I'm intending to upgrade my Athlon XP 2500+ Barton to a XP 3000+ Barton. Will the existing heatsink and fan (Official AMD supplied with the CPU) installed with the 2500 still be suficient? Thanks John Hellingsworth

Thanks John Hellingsworth yes, but if it currently uses the original, factory-applied thermal interface material then clean it off and apply a fresh coat of thermal compound.

You did not say whether you purchased the Processor yet or not. I
would just get the full Retail Drive and use the new Cooler. I have a Full Retail version of the XP2800 and it came with its own cooler. I think the Cooler works just fine. The cooler did not come with a pad. It came with pre-applied Thermal Paste. Hello People I'm intending to upgrade my Athlon XP 2500+ Barton to a XP 3000+ Barton.
