Tyle6 (on bjorn forums) and I had problems with a faulty stick we had of Mushkin RAM... So I was on 1GB for a few days running windows vista!!! yea it sucked for gaming!!! till we got the energy to drive to the city and go buy new RAM. I picked up the GeIL DDR 2 1GB x 2 800MHz ram at a small computer store.. Was very low priced! I also picked up the Dominator Fan and it works great, it has a very cheap quality face plate though, its a sticker... not painted, so once tightened down the sticker just twisted with the fastened bolts... I am waiting on a fan controller to run a test and see how well it performs. I bought a couple other ones aswell on NCIX, the OCZ memory cooler and a cheap plastic one that has LED's on it, going to compare and see how they perform! The other 2 only have 2 fans unlike the Dominator by Corsair.

Here are some pics of it installed, yes you can so notice the crappy faceplate quality, unless your the hulk you won't need to use pliers to fasten it on tightly.... can always leave it loose if you don't move your case that much

I'm looking forward to your review of the OCZ memory controller. Was thinking about buying it but I'm not sure if I need it. I don't know how hot my RAM actually get. Also, the fans on the OCZ memory cooler are 60mm and I don't know if that will cause issues space wise with my Thermalright Ultra-120.

No real need for one of those ram coolers if you have good air flow in your case, but I guess one wouldn't hurt if you push your ram with 2.4v..........;).

No room for one on my Dominator ram really anyways, heat sinks on the video card sorl of get in the way.
