My computer info is at my Sig. Will this Fan Cool my processor? The guy at Best buy told me that my Processor's GHz is VERY high for it being a Pentium D

He must have meant that your particular CPU is at the higher end of that class of processors...which it is..I think the D's go to 3.6ghz..

Anyhow yeh, you want a lga775 socket compatible cooler--and your good to go.

Dont forget paste..

Rule #1 - *Never* listen to people at Best Buy and/or Circuit City.

On friday, they were fixing a computer problem they had and when they saw my CPU fan they put their hand over it and felt the warmth. And yes they can be idiots sometimes

Not for nothing, but kinda yeah... The purpose of a HSF is to pull heat away from the CPU. Of course it's going to be warm. Different CPU's generate more heat (P4's more than P3's, D's more than P4's, Quads more than Duo's, etc.); depending on how much heat they generate will determine in-part how warm a HSF gets. I'm sure your friend meant well but...

Heard lots of good things about the AF7 - hope you enjoy it:)

I cant thank you and Scooter enough for the help! I really do appreciate it! 1 more question though...

What would happen if you remove the CPU can while the computer is running? XD Heres a video I saw and would this happen?

Most welcome. Different CPU's will behave differently with no HSF - some will auto-shutdown before damage occurs, others (older ones mostly) like that one will fry themselves. It's actually pretty cool to see in-person if you have an old CPU/MoBo you don't have any use for:)
