Just got an email from AMD today:
AMD Introduces New, Quieter PIBs!
Starting with the AMD Athlon(TM) XP processor 3000+ and higher, we have made several improvements to our Processor-in-a-Box product.
Improvements include much quieter CPU coolers and a 6-tab clip
for stable, solid socket mounting.

"AMD told its resellers that it's made several improvements to the fan, the chief of which is making the pesky things quieter.
It also told its resellers in a missive yesterday that the ball bearing design gives better reliability and will assault their customers' ears to the tune of less than 34 dBA.
It also claims that the heatsinks have more copper content, it's supplying a "more secure" retaining clip, and that even with all of its improvements, the weight is still less than 300 grams.
Pretty soon, each processor in a box will be bar coded and you'll be able to see it through the plastic covering."
