Hello, Im ordering some pc3200 and I have a choice between a copper or platinum heat spreader. Which will provide better heat disipation? Or is the difference so minimal that you cant tell? Also, is GEIL Ram good stuff? I'm looking at the Micron but Im seeing alot of the GEIL stuff up. Thx!

The copper will dissipate heat faster but on RAM you really don't need heat spreaders so either will do fine. Pick based just on price and speed, don't worry about the heat spreaders.

heh heh... That pretty much answered it all BGB. Thanks for the speedy responses BDB & AgaBooga. No feedback about the GEIL RAM so I think I'll stay away from it.lol
