both links take you to the Arctic Freezer. So I guess you've already made up your mind. :)

I typically only use Zalman CPU coolers. However, due to the low temps of the C2D chip, I didn't feel like spending the big bucks for the Zalman (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835118223). that's why I went with the Arctic Freezer.

Thanks F1sher. I really wanted two of the same, so I will probably order the Freezer Pro 7 and the Freezer Pro 64 today. Thanks man!
