quick questions regarding Athlon XP

As long as it's a Cooler Master 'retail', you'll be fine. Their retail
sinks are badass. Just make sure it's not OEM. Their OEM sinks leave a bit
to be desired.

If it's retail, you won't even need the thermal grease, trust me.

fred.do stood up, at show-n-tell, and said:

I intend to buy:
Athlon XP 2600+ 2.08Ghz SoA - 333FSB
& Cooler Master SoA XP 2600+
(http://www.coolermaster.com/products...dp5-6j31c.html)

1) What does the 'SoA' in the title of the processor mean?

2) Would I need any thermal paste? If so, will I get any included
with the Cooler Master fan & heatsink kit?

3) Will the processor fit fine into this motherboard:
Gigabyte SoA VIA KT400 ATX A

TIA!

I'm sorry. Apparently, I'm feeling a little too psychotic this morning.
