Yep, that is definitely a consideration. Personally, I think having large heatsinks like that (the OCZ Reaper comes to mind) is a bit gimmicky a bit too over the top. Wire management duties/placement could be impacted with RAM heatsinks that large. Something to think about anyway.

Hey, I need to re-open the HL store.......I think "Get Your Hard On" and "Where Hardware Gets A Happy Ending" might be popular T-Shirts and stickers

I will probably get a "Where Hardware Gets A Happy Ending" shirt, depending on the price.

Wrong of me to assume you were rockin a stocker LOL. It also doesn't look like the Dominators will be a problem with your setup. But why do you want new RAM again?

**RA1D** · July 17th, 2007

hmmm, that's a good question. i suppose the simple answer is that i have the burning desire to upgrade my components. i enjoy o/c and when i originally purchased the ddr2-800, it was not my first choice. now that ddr2 prices have fallen even more, my goal of having ddr2-1066 memory is even more affordable than before and i hope to reach new o/c levels.
