If you don't have AC in your room then why do you want a hot running processor ??

Why not get a P4C northwood version ? If you must then look a the XP-120 heatsink. And get a case w/ 120mm fans.

if your really worried about heat just go with a athlon 64 2800 better performance cheaper, and runs cool, and runs really cool when idleing because of cool and quiet

Hey man you should honestly just get a Northwood.. not only is the performance difference completely negligible, but the CPU's not only clock higher (potentially because of heat) but also run cooler.

Northwood gets my vote..... OR A64.
