How long do you think (starting from April 3, 2008) before DDR4 becomes available to buy?
 
Seeing how latencies are reaching the 'ridiculous' range with DDR3, I'd hope that a serious look will be taken at other approaches.
 
There needs to be a real performance difference to justify the price when the new memory technology comes out. Otherwise it's just going to be like ddr3, either you buy it cause you have the cash to spend or just because you want to have the "newest" stuff. With the bang per buck ration i see ddr2 sticking around for a while longer, especially for guys like me who live in mexico and paying 160 for 2gigs of ram is blasphemy.
