As further confirmation that I won't be buying anything having to do with DDR2, SiS has announced that they'll be rolling out their DDR3-based chipsets sometime in late 2007. Let's see, that leaves less than 1.5 years of DDR2 as the desktop mainstream... SKIP IT.

"The company also indicated that two other northbridges, the SiS672 (for the Intel platform) and SiS772 (for the AMD platform), will be the first SiS products manufactured under a 80nm CMOS process. Samples will presumably be available from early in the second quarter of 2007, and mass production is aimed to commence later in that quarter."
