I heard it doesnt come with the normal heatsink which is the most interesting thing Ive heard about a X2 processor in awhile.

Maybe they are cherry picked for the overclockers? Don't think I've had a stock heatsink since 486 DX4 100MHz days, so I don't see anything wrong here. It's just better not to have a useless stock cooler laying around. Think of it as tray in a fancy box, propably just a marketing gimmick, but I have a feeling they'll do better than regular ones as I've yet to see Intel or AMD market any processor as "Great overclocker!". Even Core 2 Duos are sold normal, even if 50% of users overclock them.

$280? Wow... I would just buy the 6000+, save over $100. It's just 200mhz...
Almost forgot... the 6000+ comes with a heatsink :p
