doubt seriously though that they would run long without a heatsink.

Actually, I have been pretty surprized. Last year, I picked up a couple of Athlon Classics (not tbirds) from UBid, and built a system out of them. Around December, the $5 CPU fan + heatsink I had put on them started making this grating noise, so I went in and took it out. The system has been running 24x7 since then!

I was going to re-order a better heatsink+fan (around 18-20 bucks), but I figured by the time my current CPU burns out, replacing the CPU would be almost cheaper, prices are plummeting so fast. So, I never bothered replacing it.
