Any advantages of SI-97 or SP-97 versus XP-90 for A64?

Looking through these forums and the articles, it looks like the Thermalright XP-90 is the best bet for those that don't have the space for an XP-120.

However, I see many prople recomending the SI-97 or SP-97 for A64 boards. Are there advantages to either of these two heatsinks over the XP-90?

I thought the SI-97 and SP-97 are for Athlon XP (Socket A) boards only?

Those two are for different Socket A mobos. SP-97 doesn't fit on many and screws in. SI-97 uses the clip on thingy.

XP-120 is their leading heatsink for A64 boards it will fit on. It uses 120mm fan.

XP-90 is the next best and is supposed to fit on all boards. It uses 92mm fan.

Thanks for the info. I didn't realise that these heatsinks were for different sockets.
