You don't need it... its only for looks. So if you have a window... go get it if you want. ;) I believe putting heatspreaders on sticks that don't have them will void your warranty as well.

so you are saying they will have no affect on reducing heat on the mem?

It will slightly reduce operating temps... but whether it will give you a higher overclock is doubtful if that's what you're planning to do.
