heat spreader on barton? that'd be nice

the subject of this thread basically says it all. does anyone know if AMD is planning on doing it? because the constant frying of the cpus that you read about is annoying and unnecessary (even if it IS because the person was a noob or doesn't know how to install it or whatever the excuse is)

will barton come with a heat spreader?

Er, no. PIII heatsinks fit both FC-PGA and FC-PGA2. I know, I work with a lot of PIII's. The thickness of the heat spreader at the die is very thin, and I think the die is set just a hair lower in the pin grid to compensate. The heat spreader actually has a thin top and thick sides

It all seemed so obvious in fact, that's a Pentium 4 with a Photoshopped IHS!
