I'm considering upgrading the CPUs in my Mac Pro. Does anyone know which screwdriver will remove the screws that hold down the heatsink? Thanks in advance.

3mm flat head hex driver with a long handle. Magnetism is good too.

I'm considering going with the quad-core 2.66GHz Xeons at some point... I still need to see how my finances work out and, hopefully, I'll be able to sell the CPUs that came with the computer...
