DDR2 or DDR3

I'm building an ultimate performance pc, and I'm wondering if the DDR3 is a noticeable increase in performance. Money is no object, but not many motherboards support it, and the ones that do don't support the processor I want.

Is it worth it?

Currently no. DDR2 is the norm. Like you noticed, many motherboards only support DDR2 but if you can find the socket mb that you want and it also supports DDR3, this ram is the future.

How far into the future? When is DDR2 going to start getting phased out? When is it no longer going to be worth building a DDR2 system:)

I would say when the price of DDR3 gets to be about the same as DDR2 or when new chipsets stop supporting DDR2.
