Having some Dominators myself I'd say that the fan is NOT needed but extra cooling is always helpful.

Besides the 2 or 4 gb... is it worth having tighter timings and half the GB's when it comes to gaming. I do no over-clocking.

On the timings - Tighter is more responsive. But the differences between the two (cas 3/4 and cas 4) are small. I would buy the 2 x 2 kit.

Isn't it more helpful to have more ram (ie- 4gb) for gaming?

I would rather have 4GB over tighter timings but why not have both? The dominator timings are nice but Vista likes ram even with 32bit 4gigs will show improvement.
