will anyone be able to use ddr, or will everyone need new motherboards etc.

I have been told to wait for ddr as it will speed up my system

You need a DDR motherboard, like the Asus A7M266 - though there's been a few problems with some early DDR boards running at 266 fsb, seems the technology isn't quite straightened out yet. Give it another few weeks or a month and it should all be readily available (and might even work too!) :-)

I agree with Rob.
I personally have an Iwill KA-266R mobo that supports 266MHz fsb (PC2100). I think it is great and all but there could be many improvements done on this mobo. The DDR technology is not yet mature to take full advantage of the memory, so give the mobo manufacturers some time (a month would be enough) for a rock solid DDR boards.
In my case, I had to build a new system ASAP since my younger bro needed a computer. :):):)

Ive been reading a lot about DDR MoBos lately and it seems like everyone that has been reviewing them states that "DDR" is not yet a viable and such a high percentage jump in performance because of its age. I think the best thing a person can do is wait to get a good price on the MoBo and just use your regular PC133 untill the technology catches up a bit. Then you can fully get crazy with your system. I was wondering something for all you people that own DDR boards out there. How is FSB overclocking going on those DDR boards? I have heard good things about messing with the FSB on those boards. Seems like a good deal to me.
