    What brand is your motherboard? To remove the cpu heatsink push both ends of the clips downwards, and they should pop out. If not push them downwards and then outwards

    my current mobo is..
    Board: ASUSTeK Computer INC. KIRIN-V REV 1.xx
    Bus Clock: 133 megahertz
    BIOS: Award Software, Inc. ACPI BIOS Revision 1001 01/08/2003

    thats what came up when i scanned cpu then i went to ASUS site
    and this board looks like it could be mine

    http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3&l2=12&l3=39&model=195&modelmenu=1

    This is the one I recommend. Because DDR is 400 FSB is 800 and has 1 AGP 8X slot. Might i suggest a better cooler??
    Do you want to oc your cpu or not?

    Also if you don't want to buy the cooler you can buy an really good themal paste http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835100007

    I would highly recommend this thermal paste.


    later you can get a good cpu cooler made out of pure copper http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835103162

    As I said click on the Mainboard tab in cpu-z and tell me what it says


    Here's mine

    Either the mobo comes with AGP or it does not. You can't "add" AGP slots.
    If it is a recent board, it probably has AGP or PCI-E
