While DDR SDRAM might promise increased memory bandwidth, it will run into severe timing, latency and propagation delay problems due to the wide databus and ever increasing clockspeeds. Memory may then be cheap to produce, but motherboards will then need to have six or even eight PCB layers to be able to run these memory modules at such high data rates and clockspeeds, thus increasing motherboard costs substantially.

Once more manufacturers start selling RDRAM and it becomes as commonplace as SDRAM now is, we will see its prices dropping, too. Due to the nature of the manufacturing process it will probably never be as affordable as SDRAM, but then again SDRAM doesn't offer the same performance, which is what you're actually paying for.
