more ram or invest in cooling...

[b1gapl]

I have about $100-150. Looking at my sig, should I invest in more ram, or aftermarket cooling. With aftermarket cooling, I'm planning on getting a pair of ram heatspreaders, a VF900, and an Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro. From newegg, those three together cost about $60 including shipping. My temps are all fine but I just want it lower, possibly for OCing. A question on the heatspreaders. My ram is single sided. Can heatspreaders go on single sided ram because, I was afraid of the adhesive touching the side with no memory banks on it. Thanks...

ram... you can get cooling 1 at a time if needed...

I would get more RAM. Ram heatsinks are just about useless unless you have memory that can handle exteme voltages.

I would like to get 2x1gb ram but don't have enough. Would having 4x512mb be significantly slower then 2x1gb? Would the decrease in performance be noticeable? Thanks for the replies...

No, just get 4 x512.
