Sorry I am kind of a noob at building custom computers. Is the heatsink fan the one that is built into the mobo. Thanks again.

Its not built into the mobo, its attatched manually and required so the cpu doesn't burn up. But yes, it is the one you see on the mobo.

Depending on which mobo and which fan and heatsink your talking about.
As Aeolus described in the above post, The CPU heatsink and fan are not built into the board it sits on the processor and mounted to the retaining clips. Also it will be the biggest heatsink and fan. On some motherboards you will also have a second heatsink and possibly, if you get the right one, a small fan on it also. this smaller heatsink and fan are sitting on the north-bridge chip of your chipset. They are not built into the motherboard either, they are just stuck to the NB chip.

Thanks for all the info guys. I have one more question, I have looking at a motherboard that says it has 4x Dimm for Dual Channel RAM does this mean I must put in 2 sticks of RAM or I may choose to. Thanks.

You have to have 2 sticks of IDENTICAL ram to run in dual channel, you can't just choose to.

I cant really afford x2 512MB RAM right now so instead of 1 stick of 512 in a different motherboard should I get x2 256MB and get better performance?

It does, I saw a big improvement in system performance when I changed to dual channel. Running in dual channel will also give the extra bandwidth needed for the Hyper Threading on the P4 to run at it's maximum. A dual channel Kit of 2x256MB (512Mb) shouldn't cost any more than a single 512Mb Stick

Yep I just switched to a mothberboard that supports dual channel and got 2x 256MB. Then when I save some more money up I will buy 2 more 256MB.
