AMD 1.4 GHZ, 256 MEG DDRRAM 2100, AsusA7M266,
All i want to do is overclock the bus speed as much as possible since I can't change the multiplier. CAS Latency will be set at 2 for the memory. Any suggestions on a Heatsink and fan to replace my stock HS/F and also suggestions on how high I can overclock the bus speed?
Oh yeah if you recommend a product please let me know where I can order it from as well.
THANKS EVERYONE!
I would reccomend a Golden Gate heatsink from svcompucycle.com It is one of the best deals for a great heatsink. Check out the reviews any you'll see why I like it.

Thermalright SK6
Swiftech MC462A
Millenium Glaciator
You've got a furnace on your hands... no offense Bender, but I think it's proven that these are more worthy contenders than the OCZ Gladiator/GoldenGate.....

I recommend the SK6. I had a Glaciator on mine up until just a few minutes ago and got a drop of 5C. I have a pretty warm room right now and had to either choose to leave my PCs on or have A/C on. I crunch for the SETI team so you know what I chose. My 1.4 @ 1.6 was hitting as high as 56C at the hottest part of the day (all I have to keep this room cool is a window fan) and the SK6 dropped it down to 50.8C. This is still fairly warm but once the sun starts going down I expect it to level off at around 45C-46C at most.
The Glaciator I was using also had a second 27CFM fan bolted to the side for additional air movement. This SK6 was ordered with a Delta.
Of course the Swiftech is great too if you want to spend that much cash on a heatsink. I don't think the additional $40 is worth the performance difference, however.

For what its worth I have a Glaciator and am very happy with its results. For the price and fit it works great. Clip is good as well

i cant say enough good things about my thermoengine with the delta 38. it keeps my 1.33 running nice and cool. the worst it has gotten is 114 f on a very hot day. sharkey extreme has favored it for some time now for their top noch gaming systems.

they used it on a 1.4. i have no complaints.
SK6 By far is the best sink for the heat you have comming off that processor,with a delta 38cfm fan.MY 1.2 at 1450 never hits above 45c,,I am at 1.825 vcore and have never hit this clock speed before the SK6 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
