When collecting pentium II slot cpus, do I want to remove the large heatsink or just leave it attached?

I remove all OEM heatsinks, and leave the Intel Retail ones.

For international collectors, most remove all heatsinks, as it adds alot to shipping.

I do the same. Remove all except Intel retail heatsinks. I only keep an oem heatsink if it is really interesting or unusual.

I remove all heat-sinks

on a side note >> retail heat-sinks are common in Oz.. where as in the US.. OEM heat-sinks are more common

I do like John : remove all OEM heatsinks, and leave the Intel Retail ones.

A box PII is less a box PII without its heatsink.

As many others have said; I leave all retail heatsinks on, and some OEM heatsinks if they are interesting.

May be a silly question, but does anyone have any tips for removing the hs from p2's? I have a few I will need to remove eventually for display and it doesnt appears very easy to do...
