Well put simply I would be thinking well after Apple actually put DDR in their powermacs and processor speeds of the aformentioned computers get bumped...
Maybe mid to late next year. Once the Power Macs get it, and the low end is at least 1ghz. Maybe at the same time the DDR powermacs get their first update.
QDR and DDR II (yes, they are competing standards) arn't due until the end of this year.
TDR would work by having one send on the rise, one on the fall and one at the peak, burning out the motherboard
Before any iMac DDR update occurs, the Power Mac chipset has to appear first (by at least a few months!). However, the current iMac uses a proprietory Apple chip, Pangea.

I am not seeing how this Triple Data Rate RAM would work?

Possible Timeline:
1998: Beige G3 Chipset; iMac Chipset
1999: G3/G4 chipsets, Pangea chip (iMac)
2000: Discovery chip (G4)
2002: Discovery II chip (G4)
2003: Power4-Desktop chipset; Pangea II chip
