    just get some Arctic silver, should last you a couple of years depending on how many systems you are building, using a thermal compound like artic silver is much better than the piece of carp thats stuck to the bottom of new heatsinks as it will allow heat transfer to occur better so the system will run cooler

    Aye, if you dont use any thermal paste or a thermal pad on the P4, Athlon, AthlonXP and even Duron expect your temperatures to sky rocket even with a decent'ish cooler. The reason for this is (I think) the fact that there is never a perfect contact between the CPU and Heatsink. Lapping helps but you cant lap an exposed core (like the AMD series minus the 64bit chips).
