Can anyone afford to buy Apple's, really?

About those heatsinks. I recently purchased 16 gigs of ram in 2gig modules. It's got those tiny heatsinks on them... I do however have 4 gig of ram in 512 modules with the original apple heatsinks ( previous owner was rich haha). Should i transfer them? It's a little work, but is it worth it?
If you believe that you can do it without damaging anything, I would. It shouldn't be too hard; some places sell just the heatsinks for that very purpose.
Don't do it if you're not comfortable with your abilities.
I wouldn't... RAM that doesn 't have those heatsinks were never designed with Mac Pro's in mind and may not have the strict requirements. Return it.
RAM is cheap enough nowadays that it's worth buying name brand and trusted RAM instead of hacking old and new ones.

I've put the 16 gigs in it, it seems to work fine. Is there a command or app to check the temp of the ram modules?
I've had some mkv video conversions on it for a day and took out the ram. It was warm but not hot. Actually cooler then the old ram came out, probably due to it being 4 times more.
thx for the advice btw

Im interested in buying from OWC too. Im in Greece too. sOwL if u finally order the ram from OWC please inform us if you have any problems with taxes or anything similar to that because the ram is coming from US.
