help needed removing p3 heatsink....

[drdeath]

i was looking at my p3 processor today, and noticed that hardly any of the chip was touching the heatsink! the chip itself wasnt anywhere NEAR the heatsink, and there was just a little spotch (nice word, huh?) of thermal paste attaching the two. i want to remove the factory heatsink, and get some more paste on there, and see if i can get it on there better, but i cant figure out how to get it off! help!!

also, ive seen some heatsink/fan combos on ebay, where there is the big heatsink with 3 fans on the top instead of the 1 with the plastic shroud thing that i have. is this any better for cooling than mine - or should i just keep my money...

drdeath, did you have any luck removing your heatsink? I just removed mine, and it was a little tough, but I got it off.
