For now, because DDR3 just came out. Well I think it's been out awhile already, but hey, prices go down.

It will probably take a year or two, for DDR3, to become mainstream.

Just want to clarify that if by P5 you mean P5K Del. the specs off newegg are :

DDR2 1066 / 800 / 667 MHz
The chipset officially supports the memory frequency up to DDR2 800MHz. Tuned by ASUS Super Memspeed Technology, this motherboard natively supports up to DDR2 1066MHz

P5K3 Deluxe is what he meant.

Right my bad.

You know, the P5K3 does seem better then the Striker Extreme and at a cheaper price, but then the downside is that it's DDR3 which costs a fortune. I wonder why they made the P5K to only support DDR3 RAMs.

It'll be likely to be adopted much more quickly when socket AM3 comes out

Not just because AMD will be using it, but because that's when prices should be significantly lower.
