at the moment still under development for new DDR4 that may replace DDR3 and will run at 3200 (DDR4-3200) but wont release until 2012 that 2 years away. Read some news that it has been development at the moment also nexy year new AMD Socket AM3+ and then in-future AM4 but date for AM4 still unknown

not yet as it too early to say what is the full spec at the moment so think it may tell us by begin of 2011 as it still under development at the moment plus more testing so it already started it. and yes DDR3 may be cheaper when DDR4 coming into market - just keep watch for the prices when it drop down.
 
My next build won't be until 2012 then, all this setup is getting is a 5850 or 5770 and maybe an SSD. I'm looking fowars to DDR4 and whatever AMD have to offer at the time. :P
 
ddr3 still has heaps more bandwidth than is needed for any home user operation.

progress still needs to continue though as slowly but surely we will utilise it.
 
Call me n00b if you want by why not skip a generation and go straight to ddr5 like ATI did with the 4870 onwards?

GDDR and DDR are quite different, GDDR3/4 are more like DDR2, GDDR5 was the first one thats like DDR3 i believe. So a generation wasent really skipped just a minor revision.
 
OK thanks for that, all I remmber about GDDR5 is that is is supposed to be a lot more power effeicent that previous incarnations
 
The one thing I hate about technology is the speed that it becomes obsolete! It would also be nice to have more apps/games that make full use of the hardware before it's time to upgrade to even faster hardware that doesn't get fully used ;)

I have had my E6600 in my rig now for around 3 years. Still happy (Although it is clocked at 3.4Ghz) It doesnl;t really struggle with anything but the highest of specced games (Sup com brings it to its knees!) I have kept other parts in tip-top condition. I have a 5850 in there now, and with gaming it has a new lease of life!
 
DDR 3 prices are still way too high they need to come down a lot first that would make sense...
