Everything gets obsolete. DDR3 is a step backwards in technology for system memory on my opinion though. It uses the same mentality RAMBUS used back when standard DDR and RAMBUS fought it out. Tests showed that DDR was superior to RAMBUS for normal system tasks, and the same game is being played out today with DDR / DD2 (The current standard) / DDR3 (The hopefully non future standard, but most likely will be standard).
DDR3 right now is expensive and slower for the task that he will be asking of it. It may send large files fast, but when is the last time you sent 100+ MB through your memory in a single file? Not likely you have every done that lately except on rare occasion.
For the same price of DDR3 right now - you can buy yourself DDR2 now and DDR3 later when you need it.
