A google search just revealed a bunch of Mac owners whining, so I'd like to know.

Specifically, These nice looking ones from performance-pcs.com.

I have (4) two GB sticks of Kingston PC2-6400 FB-DIMMs.

Memory coolers will cool FB DIMMs as long as they cooler is physically capable of being properly mounted.

Thank you Yellowbeard, I see you're a Corsair tech specialist. Are there typically any problems with doing such a thing?

The only problem I have seen is if some component on the MOBO is in the way of whatever mounting method is used or, if the GPU or PCI device in the top slot is too close to the RAM slots.
