Hi,

I was wondering if you guys have ram with heat spreader or not. Is the price difference worth it? I mean if you had two similar pieces of ram, how much difference in performance does the heat spreader provide?

Thanks,

Hehe, thanks. If it doesn't make that much of a difference, why do they put them at all?

To up their sales from consumers using that logic
