Thanks to wsp on the rambus thread I've been reading through IBM's website on sdram and ddr. Here's a paragraph that sums up the non-rambus scenario for future memories:

What Comes Next: DDR
IBM is an active supporter of double data rate SDRAMs (DDR SDRAMs) and has announced a commitment to this product family at the device, module and system level. With DDR SDRAM and the associated modules (such as the 184-pin registered DDR DIMM), IBM and other major vendors are proposing clock speeds of 133 MHz, which will result in a doubling of the memory data bandwidth over PC133 (to 266 Mbps/pin). By continuing along this path, memory migration in these systems can occur in an evolutionary manner — providing a significant improvement in memory bandwidth at a significant reduction in risk vs. more revolutionary proposals. Further bandwidth improvements will result from the use of the successor to DDR, which is currently identified as DDR II. Definition of this product is well underway in JEDEC, and the introduction of DDR II will ensure a continuous improvement in memory bandwidth to meet the demands of future systems.
