It will allow some future proofing, but by that time in 12-18 months, you might as well upgrade the motherboard with a newer chipset which will undoubtedly support faster DDR3 modules and newer features as well.

This review shows only one advantage to DDR3 power consumption is going down instead of up.

Short of that there was maybe one test they did that the DDR3 7-7-7-16 matched the DDR2 3-3-3-9. so if we up the speed of DDR3 to 1600MHz (estimated timings 9-9-9-18) will it give us the same performance of the dominator 1111MHz at 4-4-4-12 that we already have now, so yea its like overclocking but lowering the power of the speed.

I swear to save energy we are going to have 10000MHz memory with a 100-100-100-200 timings.

Why not just improve chips and make power effecient lower speed lower timings...wouldn't that make sense?
