I installed my new i7 920 CPU and cooler that came with it. It didn't come with any thermal paste, so I guess it is not required?
I really hate these snap-in 'screws', they pop out easy!

Hi, I know this might be hard question, but why does Intel 80486 and above CPUs have doubled 32 bit internal data bus? I mean, ALU is still 32bit wide, so what is that extra 32 bit bus for? Thanks.
