Long story short, I had to RMA one set of my PC6400 Ballistix due to them starting to go downhill. I purcahsed the 2 2x1GB sets from the Egg about 2 months ago and all 4 came with the "new" heatspreaders with no clamps on the top (they're simply stuck on the side of the chips).
I got my RMA'd set yesterday and the kit Crucial sent me has the "old" type heatspreaders (the one's that clamp on top of the chip). Not sure what the difference is here with the RAM but speeds are the same and they seem to be performing just fine. Any reason for me to be worried? Also, I'm wondering if anyone has any idea just what the difference is and why Crucial did the heatspreader change. Thanks!
