My question goes as follows: what is the best cooling solution for the 1.4 Athlon right now? I've got an Asus A7A266 MB and an Enlight mid-tower.

<b>Check the appropriate box. There are more choices than you need.

Go to www.anandtech.com they recently did a nice hsf roundup, do a search on google for hsf roundup, you will get 1002180218302948021948710 hits with decent roundups.

I like the swifttech right now, but I use a thermosonic thermoengine! (hollow core origional baby!)

how complex is it to mount a swifteck 462 monster?

and whats the stepwise process?
dissconnect all leads form mobo
unscrew
carefully remove old hsf
screw in new?

it would be intersting to have one... just for the WOW factor... oh and insurance against upcomming 32+ C room temps this summer downunder

I use a thermoengine, I thought I said that up above in my post. (thermoengine was the best hsf when I bought my 1.33 4 months or so ago, (maybe a tad longer it was 220 when I bought it.)
