Heatsink suggestions?

This is a discussion about Heatsink suggestions? in the Windows Hardware category; Here's the deal. I got my new FC-PGA Pentium III 1GHz processor. I got the retail so it came with a heatsink. The problem is, the heatsink won't fit on the motherboard. It hits a capacitor and the power socket.

Here's the deal. I got my new FC-PGA Pentium III 1GHz processor. I got the retail so it came with a heatsink. The problem is, the heatsink won't fit on the motherboard. It hits a capacitor and the power socket. The motherboard is an Epox 3SPAL3. It previously had a PIII 933MHz on it. I didn't expect the new heatsink to be that much larger.
 
So, does anyone have a suggestion for what heatsink I should look at getting. Most of the ones I can find either suck or are made for an AMD processor.
