Hi Chilloh,

Yeah, for the price vs performance, it just isn't worth getting DDR3 right now. My guess is to give it around a year or so before prices get reasonable. I would check out the DDR2 1600 MHz sticks. They have some reasonable prices.

If you are thinking of getting a new motherboard, see if it will support both DDR3 and DDR2 for future upgrades. You may have to find the DDR3 boards online.

Not only that, but most mobos right now don't support DDR3 anyway. I can go to a computer store right now and tell you that not a single case will support DDR3 yet.

my brother has a mobo that supports ddr3 but I want to know when will they drop in price's?

Chilloh,

No one knows for sure, but considering that it's new, I would imagine that it will be a good while before they drop in price much.
