Doesn't make too much odds... A while back there was an argument about whether high clocks with worse timings was better than slower clocks with tighter timings was better....
Since then its been proved time and time again that higher MHz outweighs the lower latencies easily.
I sure hope your kidding.

You can buy that stock. DDR2 ive seen can OC like a monster.
i couldn't say what jim meant, you would have to ask him hehe 
but honestly, you are not going to get those sticks much higher than that and be able to keep 24/7 stability. maybe for benching, but i doubt for much else
the ddr3 i have here could run stable with tighter timings than those at higher speeds - 6-5-5 isn't hard at 666MHz and higher with full stability (how high i cannot say as the p5k3 i had died and i've not managed to replace yet)
if you calculate it, as others have stated, the extra memory speed of ddr3 counteracts the higher timings while combining with the added FSB for a nice bandwith incease and keeping the overall latency quite low
ddr3 is marginally faster and that is why enthusiasts and benchers are switching to it
it's still expensive now, but prices are falling

change the argument why don't you hehehe
yes it's fairly expensive to put together a DDR3 sys right now and thats why it's mainly used by enthusiasts and benchers atm, but prices are dropping
when i got this PC3-12800 kit, the average price was £300+, now you can get a decent PC3-12800 2GB kit for just over £125
when you say "The parts that can handle DDR3 speeds though are still not falling" do you mean the motherboards?
the P5K3 deluxe is a pretty good/stable DDR3 board and is available for less than £100
