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

Does memory speed matter that much? Never felt any difference when putting faster memory.

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.

Thats why smart people buy water colling. Air colling is gay.

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.
