Heatsink/fan for 1.3GHz Athlon

I'm planning to upgrade from a 750 to 1.3. Considering that my heatsink keeps
my 750 around 50C idle I doubt that it would be adequate for a 1.3. Any
recommendations? I don't want to spend more than $20 (shipping included), but
preferably cheaper. I don't plan to OC, so I just need something that should
give reasonable temps and doesn't sound like a vacuum cleaner.

Thanks for the fast reply! Actually, I was just looking at that very page when
I read your post! Unless I hear any other options, I'll get this one.

Someone else recommend the TR2-M1 or M3. Does anyone know how these compare
with the WhisperRock II? I can get them at about the same price.

If your present CPU runs on 100MHz FSB, does your motherboard support 133?
Will your memory run at 133? Athlon1.3 runs very hot, uses lot of power.
What PSU rating and make?

No just 100 FSB unfortunately.
I have an Antec SL450, so I'm sure that it can handle it.

He's right, I'm running a 1.3gig T-bird and you need plenty of reserve
power and a good sink and fan for it.
I'm running a psu rated at 450watts with 30amps on 12v and 35 on 5v.
My heatsink and fan is an Evercool ND-9-625SA, certified for AMD
Athalons.
My tower came with a 300watt supply that couldn't keep up with the
demands and caused frequent crashes and locks, the stock heatsink and
fan just couldn't keep the cpu as cool as it needed to be.(I do alot
of video editing.)

I wouldn't recommend anything less than 400watts on the power supply,
make sure P4 and Athalon certified(most are) and that it has inrush
protection and over current/over temp protection as well.

I've seen that one on NewEgg too. It's a little more expensive than the others
I'm also considering (in US$) and the dB rating is abit higher too.

Pretty sure athlon 1.3 ONLY runs at 133 FSB.
