Memory for A64 FX

In many websites, like Xbit-Labs or The Inquirer, I saw during the last few weeks articles about Kingston releasing memory specifically for the A64 FX etc. The only thing they could say about this memory was that it was really expensive with slow timings.

After doing a little research today, I found the following in Newegg:

<b>KINGSTON HyperX Series 184-pin 1GB Kit (2x512MB) DDR400 (PC3200) DDR Registered ECC RAM modules, Model# KRX3200K2/1G</b>
Standard 64M X 64 ECC 400MHz 184-pin Registered DIMM
Timings: 3-3-3
Price: $399

<b>CORSAIR MEMORY XMS Extreme Memory Speed Series, Low Latency (Twin Pack) 1GB(2 x 512MB) TwinX1024RE-3200LL .Retail</b>
Tested at ultra-low latency settings (2-3-2-6)
Error Correction (ECC)
Price: $329

The thing is that I never saw anywhere any info about this memory released by Corsair, which in my opinion is in one word .. outstanding. Ultra low timings and low price (only $50 more than the same non-ECC memory they sell for Intel/AMD dual channel memory platforms). I believe with this memory we could really see the A64 FX shine but again, no review sites have used them, or even mentioned them.

Does anyone have any explanation about this? I am quite confused here.

True but I don't find $50 to be such a big deal. The fact that this memory will not be compatible after I (not that I will buy an FX move on from S940 is what concerns me but basically this topic is not about that, but about the benefits for A64 FX when paired with such memory. Something that no review site cared to show and I wonder why?!?!
