Yes it does, unless in a proprietary OEM-arrangement where there's a
ducted airflow over the heatsink to a rear fan or the power supply.

generally yes
though i have seen a few machines with ***huge*** heatsinks that were
apparantly fine without a fan
btw: it does not have to be anything fancy...
i;ve been know to just mount a small case fan near the cpu in such a way
as to blow directly on it at close range

Yes, it gets quite hot during use.

I'd say yes. The last Pentiums (no MMX/2/3/4) to arrive on the scene
were in the transition period between passive cooling and having a
fan. At the very least, you should have a heat sink attached.

round heatsink intended for P3s with the front case fan blowing air across
it. It only gets mildly warm. So leave your PC running normally for an hour
or so then open the case and touch the heatsink. If it feels uncomfortably
hot or even too hot to touch then it needs a fan.

The passive coolers were a mistake. there are several fan heatsink
combos on the market. buy a good one.
