Also, the vendors announcing these things so far are ones I've literally never heard of before. I'd still be a bit skeptical, but I think it would actually mean something if Kingston, G.Skill, Corsair, or Teamgroup announced this product. As it stands, I have no reason to think that I'll ever be able to actually buy this product.

The funny thing about heat spreaders on SDRAM is that they originated as a skeuomorph of RDRAM modules from the early Pentium 4 days, but everyone's pretty much forgotten that by now, so the market is essentially flooded with "retro" memory for no obvious reason except "everybody else does it".
