well it looks like your memeory already has a similar setup on it. SO I think it wouldnt help anymore then the heat spreaders

No, that memory already has heat spreaders. You can't double up on that

I would say No. if you really think you need better heatspreaders, get these: http://www.petrastechshop.com/coalmehepof2.html

edit: not sure those will fit actualy, its built for DDR not DDR2 but perhaps its the same size for both?? I can check for you tomorrow if you wish.

1) the ram already has heatspreaders
2) removing the current ones may void warranty
3) ram heatspreaders have not been proven to actually cool the ram sticks anyways, but it does no harm, it makes the ram look expensive, and it looks cool too.
