It all depends on if you plan on doing any overclocking or tightening the timings. If the answer is no, then the ram should be sufficient, even without heatspreaders. Is this the deal going on at Frys?

+1

Scratch what i said, i just looked at the kit stats, and at 1.8V, i see some potential in these, meaning tighting down the timings, etc.

I like em, i say get em

There are quite a few good deals going on right now on 4GB kits that are better performers than your basic crucial stuff. But I guess you'd have to be willing to deal with rebates. I know a 4GB kit of Corsair XMS were about $20 at ZZF and going to be about $16 at the Egg. Both after rebates, though.
