David Konerding as usual has an authoritative answer going down to the
details. It confirms my more general conclusions based on a look at
this issue a few weeks ago:

Isn't there at least 1 board now with double-clocked memory (DDR, maybe
only for Athlon)? If so I'd consider getting that or waiting for
a few more boards to appear. I looked at RDRAM after being ridiculed
on a Photoshop group for suggesting it, and lost interest based on
price, design (serial rather than parallel access of memory banks),
and the double-clocked alternative.

Here's a place to look at PC proposed designs:
