does your system have any problems with the temperature? if its overheating i would go for a fan if it isn't get the ram

btw a Globalwin CAK4-88t is a fan, am i right?

That's pretty high for a AXP1800+. 45-53* would be about normal. Yours looks like it's a tad hot.

yes its a fan, a very good one too. check it out http://www.globalwin.com.tw look for cak4-88t, u might want to check GAT001 too!!
No prob with the temp so far, max temp is 95C right? JUst a precaution for the HSF, thanks

If your system runs stable then you don't need a new HSF. Just get the memory.

I'd consider that fan. That temp is a little high, especially when it hits 63c. I have an Athlon XP 1700+ and it never gets above 54c even at full load. Of course, I have lots of cooling, but what is more important, a little more memory, or possibly replacing your CPU down the road? I would say to go for the fan.
