keep my cpu cooler and soundcard when upgrading?

[MrEd]

hi,
i just got a 4800+ and the MSi k8n diamond mobo.

about 6 months i bought a Gigabyte G-Power Pro cooler (which is pretty damn good, the outlet vents on case feel like a fridge ) for my now old 3.0Ghz P4. should i continue to use this one, or use the stock AMD cooler which came with the 4800+ ?

I also have Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 PCI card, which i bought 2 years ago when i last upgraded.
but since the MSi diamond mobo has a 'Sound blaster live! 24bit' chip on it, do i need to keep the my now old sound blaster PCI card?

I would personally keep the Audigy as it will be better than an onboard Live... Plus I'm not a fan of onboard sound anyway.

Not sure on the cooler though would probably be better than the AMD stock one, but it might need different brackets coming off of a P4 motherboard.

yeah i still have the amd 939 brackets you get with it.

Yeh, I'd stick the Gigabyte one back on in that case
