I will be running XP-32bit. AND is the fan necesary for the Dominator RAM?

 

[dsm7809]

well it all comes down to if you want 2gb or 4gb of ram

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.
