Old Pentium3 server questions.

Recently I started running a Counter-Strike:Source webserver/gameserver out of my old Pentium3 box and my cable internet (512MB PC133 memory, 6meg down 512k up cable). As of the past week or so, it's had a pretty regular workload which makes me wonder how well the thermal compound is holding out in there for my P3. It's a 750MHz Coppermine at stock clocks (kind of want to overclock since the CPU is bottlenecking @ over 14 players and I run a 16 slot server) and it's been untouched since I got it back in 1999 or 2000. So it's been 4 or 5 years now and I diddn't know how stock paste held up. If it's probably no an issue, I'll forget about it until I have any issues with the server (which I havn't) since they don't have a heatspreader and I've yet to try applying thermal paste on an open core.

Thoughts?
 
Anything is better than running bare core, I'd say to go for it (the bare chips are easiesr to apply a TIM to)
 
Just re-apply some if you have some handy, can't hurt, but if you cant then i wouldnt worry too much. Also, if you got any spare cash i'd buy another stick of ram for the sake of it, it'll help performance probably as much as o/cing it does.
