What is a good heatsink for this processor?

I am not going to do any overclocking with the below processor. What would be a good inexpensive heatsink and fan for it?

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Brisbane 2.3 Gigahertz Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core Processor - Original Equipment Manufacturer - $40

I was just looking around at the retail version versus the Original Equipment Manufacturer versions of the processors.

The AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000 retail is $60. A heat sink would cost likely at least $15 to $20. It isn't worth it. I might as well buy the Athlon 5000 processor.

Yes. Just buying the retail of the Athlon 5000 Dual-Core is a better deal.
