Although PCI-Xpress will significantly speed up the PCI Bus, I can't wait for the new form factor.

Haven't posted in so long, been in jail because the RIAA had me arrested a few weeks ago for music piracy.

After thinking about it. I like the backwards look of BTX. So I am submitting my vote for that.

I'm excited about the XGI Volari V8 dual-processor VGA card, it's the Voodoo 5500 all over again

I think a totaly 64bit system would be cool, pci express will be cool aslo, even though the only card i have is a vid card, everying else i need is onboard, but faster vid card interface would be nice. i think thats whats holding everythign back, is not the speed, but the bus in wich its tranferd.

I hope your kidding......

while the next gen gpu's will be nice, and pci xpress will certainly be a welcome addition, a few things were left out.

first, you list ddr2, but you completely left out the other forms of upcoming memory, such as the next generations of rambus. the newer rambus has a potential for a comeback, and should offer incredible speeds. however, we can not forget that some rumors are going around about quad pumped ddr (just like an intel fsb). other rumors include ddr2 that has one channel per bank, so a dimm would have 2 channels on the same stick of memory, and therefore a current dual channel setup would become a quad channel setup if the new chipsets actually do support that, and i read somewhere (probably xbitlabs or anandtech or even maximum pc but i dont remember) that they might. so however you look at it, current memory will look extremely sluggish to the next generations of memory, not to mention that ddr2 on more video cards than it is currently on will be a great improvement. in any case, i pick ddr2

Anyways, got 64 bit now. So what I'm eagerly awaiting now is DDR2.

pci sounds good

yawn* None of them
i am not building a new rig after this one...i dont think there is going to be anything that can top what is already out there, except in benchmarks.....and thats it...IMO

Nope, dead serious.

im looking forward to 64bit processors

I'm just waiting for mRAM to mature and hit the market so that the average consumer never has to ever face any of Intel's EFI junk.

You really were in jail. What did the inmates have to say lol? I didn't know that people even went to jail for it; just thought that they got fined.

ouch texoid, thats gotta suck, i cant beleive you actualy got jail time for that.

Well I put 64 bit, but I am also lookign forward to new formfactor,ddr2,PCIX,and even Longhorn..

I want to here more about TeX's jail time

I think when you put everything together what is planned.......it's the types of games and programing that will be exciting when they come out.......Talk about eye-candy.....

I shared my cell with a calm drug dealer who pretty much kept to himself, not a 400 pound homosexual rapist named cletus, hate to break it to you TYCOON.

Anyway, florida has always used excessive force arresting and detaining people, probably because of all the drug trafficing we get, so although jailing me was rather harsh for music piracy, it's perfectly legal for them to hold me between court dates. And no, I don't have any previous offenses.

If you're wondering why I'm not online as much; my main PC was confiscated, swiped, and returned with nothing on the hard drives, and the MPAA is monitoring my home internet connection now so I usually go out to cyber cafe's in order to go online because I have no privacy at home, and that is unacceptable for me.

damn bro! i thought i would go down for all my crap, but i dont have anything installed anymore.....Kazaa and the like. and with over 10,000 songs and about as much monitarily in software....****, now they are going to come for me...... HAHAHAHAHAH COME AND GET ME COPPERS!! YOU NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE SEE!!!

BTW, i have been in jail too......State Higway Patrols don't think 154 in a 65 and then not stopping for 10 miles is a good idea....

So were you actually sharing ****loads of music TekX or was it just a few songs? I'd be interested to know how legal it was for them to wipe your HD too, that seem like some serious bull, deleteing the music is understandable but that's total bull...

glad to have you back though.
