Hi, I recently sold a Nintendo Wii on ebay for my parents and made them a good bit of money. I let them have all of that money so they could just get me some nice RAM for christmas.

I was thinking of 2GB DDR2 800 PC2 6400 Corsair XMS2. It costs $300:

But, while trying to print the link for my parents, I came across this. CORSAIR XMS2 DOMINATOR 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail $315

Is the dominator ram any better? The one thing I notice is the much bigger heat sinks. Will this help out alot more with cooling? If it does, I think it justifies the $15 price difference. Thanks.
