As i was browsing through some articles at anandtech, a computer using the slower PC800 RDram and 3.06ghz proc could keep pace with the new 800mhz/PC3200 bus with 3ghz proc machines that have come out in recent weeks. One could just OC the 3.06ghz to 3.2ghz(with ease) and beat out the new platforms, while spending 200-300 less.
Maybe other people realized it but for those that didnt(like me) the fact is that we dont need or much less even use 6.4gbs or 800mhz of bandwith for anything current. And by the time that we might need this much the prescot will be out, and your personall self will "need" or want to update then becuz of the apparent ghz frequencies they will be able to reach with the 90nm chip.
Got Q's check it out:

The customer is not always right.
If they were, they would do my job.
