Should I get heatspreaders?

[mjolnir1134]

Just curious, and just for the heck of it, I was wondering if heatspreaders would do anything good to my RAM.

I have a preinstalled samsung RAM(PC2700) and a Corsair Value RAM(PC3200), both totalling up to 1024mb RAM.

I was looking at newegg, and wondering, should I get these Copper heatspreaders to put on my RAM? I don't know how hot the RAM gets in there, but would it do any good? I'm not going to take the risk of overclocking. The only thing I've overclocked is my processor (Celly D 2.6Ghz-3Ghz). I do a lot of gaming, Macromedia Flash, and I have a lot of windows (Mozilla FF, with at least 5 tabs each window) open on my desktop usually.
Probably this set: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835110105

Think its worth it?

No, heatspreaders on ram are ineffective. They look good but that's about all they are good for.

depends what kind of ram....
but for PC2700/3200 its pretty much useless
