Shouldn't be a problem for me - I plan to skip DDR4 and go straight to DDR5, or maybe what comes after, at some point. Still running 32GB DDR3 here.
What kind of speeds you get on that old DDR3?
I'm not sure - I don't measure it. It's in my home server running Linux. It does everything I want and is >90% idle most of the time - so it's fast enough. And I just realized I lied in my original comment - my laptop has DDR4 RAM, but it's already at max. capacity so I won't have to worry about buying more.
I am in the same boat. I am waiting for a CPU that properly handles more then 128gb of memory while not costing 5 grand.
What kind of tasks do you do that require over one hundred gigabytes of RAM? Just curious. Video editing?
