Depends on what motherboard you have. Some AMD motherboards have the four mounting holes around the processor that P4 heatsinks usually use.

There's no real difference in heat output with Intel Vs AMD though, for the same performance level.

I could be wrong, but I think the XP chips below XP1700+ are palomino (or possibly thoroughbred 'A') cores, so you're XP1600+ won't be a particularly good Oc'er. the 2600 should go some though.

you want to overclock with a p4 cooler? why does it have to be a p4 cooler? you mean the stock cooler that comes with a p4? you can do a hell of a lot better than that.
