Personally I consider the inquirer more of a tabloid than a reliable source...
here's a good DDR3 round up from Anandtech
They both basically support the same idea though: DDR3 is coming along nicely, and certainly much faster than DDR2 did (the micron z9's are proving almost as impressive as their predecessors), but the price/performance ratio just isn't there yet for value let alone budget consumers. Give it another 6 months of fine tuning and you won't be buying DDR2 anymore.
