Shims are cheap insurance
I hear that the XPs are tougher cores though.
But the older CPUs...
Anyway...its only $6-15 for one...if you feel you need this insurance, go for it. When I went water...I put the shim on my mom's computer.
I've removed my XP1800 at least...10 times since I bought it, and I have yet to screw up without a shim.
