Cooling a GeForce 2 Pro

I'm going to get a Hercules 3D Prophet Pro and want to know if a blue orb will cool the GPU better than the stock heatsink. If this isn't the case would it be possible to mount a heatsink fo a CPU (stock from a celeron 600) onto the graphics card?

Thanx

orbs do work better but there is better out there, heh that sentance is repetitive. Anyway, I've heard of people mounting fops to their gfx cards. Be sure to get ram heat sinks too.

At the absolute least, you'll want to pull the stock heatsink off, and put some arctic silver/AS adhesive on it. The stuff that's on there usually doesn't cover the entire chip and it's just above completely worthless.
Ram heatsinks and a case fan mounted on the side of the case blowing on the agp slot really make the largest differences.
