So you see the spec's below. I have an Andy Samurai coming. There's about a 58mm clearance. So my question is as follows:

Will there be enough clearance on my K9N-Neo w/ 4gig XMS2 to fit the Andy Samurai, or is it looking like I'll have to sacrifice a stick to the space gods?

Has anyone ever attempted this?

Since nobody replied, and the hardware got here sooner, I'll fill you in.

Sitting on top of my AMD 5200+ is a shiny new Andy Samurai, from Scythe. Next to the processor are 4 1gig sticks of Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800, which stand a bit taller than standard ramsticks. Not much, but significant enough that it nearly caused a problem.

With much squeezing and tweaking, and groaning and all that, the Andy Samurai is in and has dropped my Idle temp 15* C.
