I was having some trouble running my new 2x1024 OCZ Gold DDR500 at it's rated speeds, so I attached a thermal probe to the memory to see what my temps were. When running prime95, I am hitting around 50C. Are these temps ok for memory or should I start looking for a way to cool it? What are people using to cool there memory?

meh, it's about normal for ram that's not actively cooled. i honestly don't know why so many people are willing to spend $40 for a better heatsink to keep the cpu cooler and get a slightly better oc, but don't bother putting a $5 fan over the memory to drop temps to near ambient levels, allowing the ram to last much longer, and with some types of ram, oc a bit better too.
just do something like this:
