Geil's two-module PC-4200 DDR RAM package is, according to the labels right there on the RAM, specially made for dual channel motherboards and rated for 533MHz operation, after DDR doubling. Did Geil's RAM perform as advertised? Did it have embarrassing flaws? Does Dan think it's a waste of money?...

Conclusion: One side of the "thermal solution" on these modules isn't doing much but keeping air flow off the chips, allowing them to become warmer than they'd be with no shiny metalwork. In case you're wondering, this doesn't account for their lousy showing in my test; they weren't running long enough to get very hot then, and the side was off the test box's case anyway.
