from what i been reading, 2007 will be the year that people just replace their old computers with conroes, 8800s, and larger lcds. i think we will only see major new technologies, in 2008.
i think that 2007 will be a peaceful year for computing. kind like a brief pause.
 
Vista, DX10, revolutionary GPU architectures, mainstream quad-core, hybrid terabyte hard drives, DDR3......Nope! Nothing to see here, folks!

Seriously, are you joking?

Well, yeah. Those are all things to upgrade comps with. :D

Seriously though, I think '07 may be the best year yet. We're probably going to see some of the best computing numbers in a while since EVERYTHING is getting an overhaul.
 
Let me know what you think after reading up on CES2007 next week..... Then we'll see what "isn't going on" in '07.... ;)

I don't think to this extent. This year we're seeing an increase in cpu power (with more core), faster ram (which I suppose happens every year), new high performance motherboards (yes, does happen yearly as well), but also new video card architecture. Add to this the dropping prices of hi-def displays, and well, you kinda got a increase in each computing catagory. Let's just say 2007 is going to be better than "average".

yes it does. I think 2006 was a great year, 2007 will even be better, and 2008 will be better than that. (and so on and so forth.)
We are just about to TB hds... before you know it they will be 2TB... then 10TB and beyond...
Dual core cpus are now more common... quad cores are just making it out... 8 cores are going to be next, and then who knows how many cores will be around in the next few years...

GPUs are coming out faster than ever.. Eventually Oblivion will be an obsolete benchmark just as Quake 3 Arena has become.
(has any one checked how many q3a fps you get with a 8800gtx sli setup?)


I enjoy every minute of it...
