I have not tried either as of yet, but would like someone to look at the heatsinks and fans on these two Gigabyte GA 7DX motherboards. One system has (Athlon) sticker the other has a (Athlon xp) both are suppose to be 1900+ but as I said I have not plugged them in. the "Athlon" heat sink is wider than the socket, the fan is smaller than the heat sink, and to top it off the wiring is blocking the fan on two sides. It doesn't look good.
I am so new at this, I have to send one back to the Mfg.
Can anyone accept a Jpeg picture to show you the two CPUs and their fan and heat sinks?
Much thanks for your help.

Thanks bront and PooBaa, I will go to that link and look. I was hoping I could email the pictures to you, but I will try to upload them to my FTP site. I am so new at all this stuff it takes me a while to read the instructions. Much thanks Molly
Here are three links to my FTP site. Please let me know if they are showing up. Also let me know what you think of the fan and heatsink setup,Thanks again for your help.MM
