OP OP I IBM/PS1 In Runtime Messages 424 Jan 5, 2008 #5 Well the g0 stepping from tiger is 100 extra bucks. It comes with a fan but it most likely sucks. I'll just go with the b3. Thanks for the help.

OP OP I IBM/PS1 In Runtime Messages 424 Jan 5, 2008 #9 I'm investing 60 bucks in the big typhoon Cooler. Should be ok for my needs even with the b3 stepping.
