If I were to overclock my Intel Q9550 Quad CPU from 2.83GHz to 3.0GHz, could I get away with using the older Intel Core 2 Extreme heatsink, the one with the blue fan frame and very heavy due to all the copper? I'm thinking this isn't much of an overclock and potentially using the heavier duty...

I currently have an ATI x1650XT and have an order in for an x1950XTX; however, it will not ship for another 2-3 weeks. I'm starting to wonder if its worth purchasing an x1950XTX now for $400 or just waiting for the R600 or even the x2K series models. I know the R600 is due out soon (a few...
