Bitboys Axe

 

[The Sauce]

Hyperthreading
DDR-2
GF4
SATA
FFD TFT's 19" sub $500
Mobos with built in CF readers and USB-2/1394

 

[GTaudiophile]

As an aside: what are the major differences between DDR-II and ATi's recently-announced GDDR3?

 

[ai42]

Bitboys Axe

LOL I didn't think anyone else read that one

 

[DeschutesCore]

SATA

DC

 

[m2kewl]

dual hammer, 140gb cheetah 15k hdds, ultra320 scsi

 

[kreno]

1) A Creative Audigy Platinum that's priced within reason.
2) Serial ATA Drives
3) Granite Bay
4) Hyperthreading
5) NV30 (god I hope they don't call it GeForce5...)
6) 128bit RDRAM running @ 3GHz (imagine....)
7) Hammer
8) A Girlfriend

 

[randomlinh]

nforce2
serialATA
NV30

and yeah, a GF would be a plus too

 

[MasterHoss]

NV30 for me. Damn new games.

 

[Wolfsraider]

ok this isn't exactly in the box lol

speech recognition=i'm tired of typing

or prescott which ever comes first

 

[Siddhartha]

My next planned major upgrade for my secondary system is two to three months away. Right now I am hoping that the Athlon XP 2800+(for faster)\nforce 2 are available by then. I will look at what Intel is offering by then too. For my primary system, I am going to wait for the first price drop on the Hammer.

 

[Soulkeeper]

I like kreno's #8
I'll give anyone who finds me one my P4 laptop (and anything else i own)
she don't hafta be perfect
i'll love her forever

 

[spanky]

LCDs with CRT quality

that would be nice

 

[tweakmm]

Cheap LCDs with CRT quality
Terrabyte HDs
and this

 

[ed21x]

Hammer + NV30 = my next rig -which means i should start saving now for the next two years...

 

[rbV5]

AIW 9700 Pro

 

[BD231]

1.) Solid State Storage
2.) Silent Computing (EVERY fast computer creates way to much heat, we're using plastic play toy fan's to cool high tech hardware, wtf is up with that?)
3.) .13m Radeon 9700 at higher clock speeds

 

[Mem]

Hammer + NV30 = my next rig -which means i should start saving now for the next two years...

Same here .

HEAR HEAR!! Whirr! Buzz! I can't stand the damn doise! Makes me almost want to move to a VIA C3 just to have REAL silence....
but the problem of noise is now because of an older hard drive, rather than the CPU fan(s).

Silent is good...... the "Stealth" computer. Think of the office headaches that would go away!

 

[apoppin]

More disposable income (read: MONEY).

Seriously . . .


(if that is possible)


I am waiting for my current system to lag sufficiently so that I am irritated enough to upgrade.

And I am waiting for the equivalent of the Star Trek Voyager's main computer available in a PDA.

 

[LanEvoVI]

Serial ATA and the Clawhammer...

Here's to hoping AMD doesn't fall on its face with the new proc...

speech recognition=i'm tired of typing

Ok then, how about soundcards that not only do environmental analysis for better sound effects in games, but also include speech recognition as a hardware function?
In addition to that:
-SATA might be nice, but solid state would be better; present HD technology is just too slow. Processors can deal with how many GB/sec of data, but the HD is stuck at less than 133MB/sec.
-Faster FSB and RAM speeds are also needed.
-PCI-X.
-More solid state storage, to replace CD-RW and DVD-RW completely; even those are too slow, and very susceptible to damage.
-An OS that'll run all your programs without deciding to randomly freeze up completely.
