   would be a good idea to get it now, this is the reason for the upcoming shortages/price hikes coming.

   With so many PC's now supporting DDR3 it was about time we saw an increase in sales. My next computer will have DDR3.

   Interesting though...I remember reading an article a while back where they did some benchmarks between different speeds of DDR2 memory, using games, real life applications, etc. and found that there wasn't a huge amount of performance gain between the slowest DDR2 and the fastest "gamer grade" DDR2. I could be wrong, I'm just quoting what I remember from the article. But yeah, I mean, sure DDR3 is faster, but is it really going to make that much of a difference when it comes to real life applications?

   Disclaimer: I don't actually own a computer with DDR3 yet...

   RAM is still pretty expensive where I live... and now DDR2 is even more expensive than 3!

   why is that a problem? because a DDR3 M/B costs twice as much as a DDR2...

   so you end up losing money anyway
