Now that we are finally done with all the excitement from low-latency modules and exclusive memory for specific boards, it appears as though the memory industry won’t be coming up with something thrilling in the near future. After a meeting with an industry insider, the motherboard and memory industry doesn’t have much to innovate on. Memory makers have already introduced faster DDR2 memory modules at Computex earlier this year. And as far as the DDR standard is concerned, memory makers have also done pretty much what they could to keep breathing life into it. However, the creativity factor is starting to drop throughout the industry with market for DDR2 picking up, much thanks to AMD’s announcement of adopting DDR2 in the future.

Despite the lack of excitement from this part of the industry, the insider commented that memory makers should have something in the future ("hopefully soon" – direct quote). The timeframe of the supposedly exciting innovation wasn’t disclosed at the time of publishing this report.
