I'm very familiar with microsofts money grab, I don't know what kind of copy my 7 it
It is not really a money grab - it is an industry wide practice and MS is giving us a choice. If we want a transferable license, we buy the full "Retail" version. If we want a discounted license for use on our current system, we buy an OEM/System Builders license. If we want free, we download a free Linux alternative.
You can tell what you have by looking at the disk. If OEM/System Builders or "branded", it will say so on the disk.
Note this is not limited to Windows - most preinstalled software is OEM and licensed to the computer or motherboard it came with, or was purchased for. Most security suites that come with computers are tied to that computer. Even "burn" software that comes with DVD drives is licensed to that drive.
Do you think the stock intel cooler that comes with the 2600 could be put on the 775 mobo?
Since we are on the side topic of warranties, understand too that both
Intel and
AMD warranty their "retail" boxed versions of their CPUs that come with heatsink fan (HSF) assemblies as a "unit". That is, they must be used together and it is in the EULAs (just as MS license terms are in those EULAs) that if you use any cooling solution other than the one that came with the CPU, then any damages caused by heat or HSF failure (or over clocking too for that matter) is not covered under the warranty. And while motherboard makers are integrating overclocking capabilities into their boards, their warranties do not cover damages attributed to overclocking. They will not pay to replace your CPU, and neither will the 3rd party cooler makers.
If you decide to use a cooler other than the one provided and something happens to the CPU that can be attributed to ineffective cooling, if you contact warranty support and don't tell the truth with the purpose of obtaining a free replacement, that is deception by fraud, a criminal offense. So, while it is fine to use alternative cooling, just realize you sacrifice the 3-year warranty if you do. Also understand that neither Intel or AMD want to replace the CPU or HSF assembly during that 3-year warranty so the OEM HSFs are excellent coolers.
Again, I am just the messenger. My opinion is immaterial.
