Patient, should I be??

[Apexgun2001]

Wondering around the Tech sites I read an article about DDR3 and how it may well soon become the ram type of choice in the future, I wanted to know what people's opinion of this was and weather or not its actually sensible to be buying and upgrading now when DDR3 doesnt seem that far off vista is still teathing, AMD about ready to drop its new procesors on us and maby a GFX card to rival the Geforce 8, YES I know that technology is moving on and advaning and expanding and growing and speeding up and I want on, I just dont wanna fall off in 6 months time.
I would just like to get some friendly advice is all.

In short, I don't know what you are actually asking. Yes DDR3 will be the next generation of RAM although atm it is expensive. I don't think the next gen of ADM processors will be anything to get in a flap about. I also doubt NVidia or ATI are stretching themselves with their newest gfx cards (take a look at proper industrial video processors ...) These are my opinions, but I'm not seeing a specific question in there anywhere

Mate, with technology there will allways be something better in 6 months. Its unavoidable. Best thing to do is buy the best you can afford at the time, unlees you absolutely know there will be something new within the next few weeks.

As said, tech is always advancing every 6 months or so. You have to bite the bullet at some point.

There are ways to future proof a certain extent, get a mobo that supports DDR2 and 3 for example.
