Old HSF for T-birds good enough for T-breds?

I have a Taisol CGK760092 ( here) and I'm wondering if that would be good enough to OC a T-bred B 2100+ with. I just don't want to buy another $30+ heatsink :-/

How does the heat compare between an old 1.33 and a new 2100+? How much hotter is the 2100?

I hit Taisol's page and it says "for XP 2100+", but would there be any headroom there?

Should be good enough. May not let you overclock to the limit of your processor compared to a high end heatsink like a SLK-800. Thoroughbred cores run much cooler than the Thunderbird core as they are 0.13 micron and use lower voltages.

That I can vouch for, im using the same cooler that I used with my t-bird AYHJA 1.4ghz and its running fine. Mainboard socket tempearture is 44c on load, 38c off load.
