u referring to ram heat spreader, right?
afaik none in the market yet, or will it ever get to release?


_______

if desperate, then try get some Al/Cu bga ram sink,
stick on the chip 1by1 .
if size not cun~, then custom cut it.

did i post here in regards to your query? i think my post kena deleted

if ur current 2x1gb adata able to run cl4, then it's definite wise to just add-in another 2x1gb cl4-800.
that'll gives you 4x1gb cl4-800

as for the 4 sticks vs 2 sticks concerns,
the stress on mobo often relates to the difference in max. oc between them.
while you are running @stock ddr800 (1:1) , i see no problem on that.
the heat from additional 2 sticks only concerns when u oc/increase vdimm on it.
in ur case, ddr800 is stock, so no problem on that too.
_
if ur current adata only capable of cl5-800,
and you considering between buying another 4sticks on 1gb , or 2x2gb
then 2x2gb is definitely ur choice, as you are not into clocking high speed.

so if you were to going for 2x2gb, just pick the cheapest kit rated cl4-800 as u don't need high performance kit,
as although they prove to clocks quite nice on speed, but don't forget you are running 8x400.
u need no more than ddr800. (though some may argue that they can pushing the ram alone using divider/multip. , but it's generally pointless to do so.)

do note that the difference between cl5-800 vs cl4-800 , is very minimal.
so i'd actually prefer the 1st way which is just add in another 2x1gb to form total of 4gb.
but best if ur current adata able to do cl4-800, then 4x1gb is definitely the way to go.
_
as for best results on ur case "without the concern of $$$" ,
as you'r running 8x400, i'd reckon cl3-800 1:1 setup.
there are 2x1gb cl3-800 kits around (eg. kingston hyperX pc2-6400 cl3 2gb kit.)
two sets of them gives u 4x1gb cl3-800 1:1 setup.
(i don't recall any 2x2gb sticks able to do cl3-800 , as 2gb sticks doesn't have l337 chips on them.)
_

i'm not the one who say there's troubles running 1x4gb , it's the other one.
i'm stating there's difference in achieving max OC on ram comparing 2x1gb vs 4x1gb.
(eg. , what i saw in this forum, 2x1gb crucial 10th anni. vs adding another 2 same sticks 10th anni. )
as what u said, it could be dependant on chipset, as you don't encounter it on ur rampage x48 but what bout p35?
so what i said does exist, right?
or your'r saying current whatever chipset g33 ,p35, x48 , all no different in handling 2 vs 4 sticks ram on comparing to achieve the very same Max. OC?
Thanks for enlighten me, for what i saw.

yes, i agree.
i know there's bigg difference there, 400x10 at 800 CL3 PL6 vs 400x10 1200 CL5 PL 5
is it practical enough, running 1200 CL5 PL 5, daily usage?

let's make it more realistic for the one who ask for suggestion at above.
which 1 is easier to achieve?

No, i don't have one. I don't have money to own all the hardwares that i suggests in this forum.
So does every forumer in here, except you.

What's so difficult if you got the money?
team extreem 6400 cl3 kit
kingston hyperx LL 6400 cl3 kit
geil 6400 cl3 kit
(Doesn't works @ what's being Rated on the surface of the kit itself? , Throw it back and screws them hard.)



go into your bios,
look for options - memory hole remapping, (some may differs in terms used, eg, memory hole, memory remapping, etc.)
enable it will do the job.
