The anticipation of DDR3 is not a factor, IMO. The launch of DDR2 was totally lackluster as the platforms out there (925X anyone?) didn't utilize DDR2 to its full potential... and the performance of DDR2 modules back then were lackluster too. Just not too tempting..

The DDR2 release was lackluster more for AMD not supporting initially, and because at its release, INTEL was uncool to own......now you're getting ready for major turnover with new processors, new chipsets, and new memory, which will make a major difference.
