Athlon XP cooler on Duron... is it possible?

[Kabome]

Forgive me if it's been asked before, but I'm going to be doing some work on some machines and I wanted to know before I started:

Can you use the AMD Stock cooler for an Athlon XP processor on a Socket A Duron or standard Athlon processor? I know the clips and lugs will be the same, but is there a difference for the contact area or design of it at all?

Thanks

You can use AXP cooler with Duron without problem

I thought so, I just wanted to be sure before I go ramming it on there

If you get one of the new retail jobs, they run cooler and quieter, and dont seem to have the cheap retainer of the early models.
