					| OCZ is the best  And their known for weird heatsink designs. 
 
   
 
 Not a bad kit either. 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 for 96 bucks. Wonder how much those are gunna run

 there's usually a sweet spot depending on the CPU-architecture where further mem-speed / fsb doesnt really result in better performance.  And are there already boards / cpus that use DDR3?

					| yeah, there are some P35 DDR3 boards I believe.
 DDR3 ram is insanely expensive though because it's so new. I think you gotta pay like 150€ für one gig.
 
 you can get over 4 gigs of great DDR2 ram for that price!

 Believe the most you'll see a difference is just the loading of new level's in games etc which also prob depend on the bandwidth the HD can dish out etc. Theres quite a bit of memory that's made faster so it's easier to overclock.

					| Those would get in the way of a lot of the tower type aftermarket heatsinks. I don't think my Ninja would clear even with the modules on the farthest 2 alternating slots.

					| the question is, if it s any good anyways. The heatsinks on the corsair extreme memory which started the heatsinked ram-frenzy were for show only imho and i even read a review back than that had the heatsinks off and showed no real heat-penalty because of it. 
Sure, in a case with decent airflow and with overclocked ram the above heatspreaders can help to get the heat out of the case faster, but i m still not sure, if it s really necessary or just to grab more money from enthusiasts. Like the LED-version of the corsair pro modules.

					| I think you are putting too much thought into it. Heat dissipating ability? Probably not, if that was it's intention they would use function over form - not that shit.
 These are exactly as you said, enthusiast class memory for those who prioritize PC vanity over everything.
