Take that how you will
Oh, that wouldn't surprise me one bit. Also, as far as heatspreaders go, you're absolutely right-- they don't add much, if anything to the cooling effect/capabilities. That was why I differentiated between what I had said about heatspreaders, and what I think about true heatsinks. BTW, have you figured out yet if your RAM was the problem with your C2D system?

Memory errors at DDR2-533 6-6-6-18 so... yes it is lol
