Okay, stupid question, I know. But I've yet to find anywhere I can
actually buy this, and I see it recommended for everyone wanting to
overclock (yes I'm considering this...). I have a heatsink which came
on my DX2-50. Heatsink compound is something I have to buy separately?

It's usually a white grease (what it is I don't know) that, when applied
between the component and heat sink, vastly improves the flow of heat

It's basically a thermally conductive grease. Radio Shack carries it.
