4Gb DDR2 modules - when/how much?

I noticed that the new P45 boards offer 4 slots with up to 16Gb, which means that 4Gb modules must finally be in the pipeline for us non-ecc non-£££ types. Anyone had a sniff of any of these and have an idea on when/how much we can expect them to be?

I know it's outrageous, but I'd love to run a P45 with 4x4Gb DDR2, could RamDrive all my games then - certainly help with the biggies like FSX and others - especially the level loads!

(be interesting to see what happens - lots of 2x4Gb buffered ecc ram avail at the £200 mark - not too shabby - here's hoping the unbuffered non-ecc stuff comes down a bit from there!)

I imagine it will conencide with the realise of affordable ddr3 i.e. late 2008/early 2009 if i had to guess.

Sweet - somehow I doubt the price will come down enough to be worthwhile, before the cost of DDR2 goes up and DDR3 takes over - a shame - could have been really fun!

I'm just hoping that as Dual channel becomes triple channel so we get 6 memory slots to fill - certainly help!
