I put memory heatsinks on my P? Just wondering. . . .
My "Baby": Shuttle SS51G, P4@2.26 Ghz 533 FSB, 80 GB Western Digital Caviar "Special Edition" Hard Drive 7,200 RPM w/8 MB Cache, 512 MB Corsair PC2700 with Heat Spreaders, Pioneer DVD Drive (w/sexy slot load ), and of course a Matrox Parhelia Retail Vid Card
Not sure on specifics and probably won't if it may void my warranty, just wanted to make it run cooler. Was thinking some copper ramsinks. I've seen some around but don't know if any are above and beyond the others. . .

AFAIK Cu ramsinks aren't efficient if you use them as passive heatsinks. I think it's because it has low heat capacity so they will get hot quickly. However, copper sinks with a fan is great because heat can be transferred to the top quickly and be cooled right-away. I am not sure tho...
AL heats up faster, so it initially will disipate heat faster than CU. But after they have both reached there max temp, the CU will probably be working better, due to its better heat transfer. The dissapation rates(emissitivty) for AL might be slighly higher but there would not be much in it compared to Cu
And its harder for people to steal your computer becasue of the extra KG's
