Steve,

DDR comes at almost no price premium over PC133, it offers power savings, the same latency, and higher bandwidth (which some applications can take advantage of.)

Almost the entire industry is embracing DDR!

BTW: Did you notice that Samsung is on Team DDR?

Regarding OEMS buying DDR DIMMS in prep. for a launch. The answer is no,
From EBN

Virtually all major DRAM producers and several module makers
say they are shipping unbuffered DIMMs to Intel in large enough
quantities to validate a DDR chipset. Memory-vendor executives
who reported this development declined to be identified.

Intel's purchase of unbuffered DDR desktop DIMMs is the tipoff
that its new chipset is targeting mainstream PCs. A DDR chipset
for servers, which the company has openly said it is developing,
would use buffered DIMMs.
