retail HSF that comes with Athlon 1800+ XP retail sufficient enough?

I am looking into buying an 1800+ XP retail processor, and I know it comes with a HSF. Is this going to be sufficient enough for someone who doesn't overclock? I am just wondering if anyone has had any problems with the HSF supplied. Thanks.
 
I may have a prob with it, although I had to take it off in order to seseat my cpu, don't know what was wrong the first time. I just posted a message wondering if I messed up the thermal seal when I reapplied it with the same thermal paste. If I were to do it again, I would get a decent hsf from thermaltake, alpha, etc. and get some arctic silver and get the oem cpu. I don't overclock, but its nice to be safe. Plus, the retail hsf was a biotch to get on.

But, like I said I did reapply the hsf, so take my experience with a grain of salt.
