I'm going to be happy next year.

[Tiggerz]

4GHz
Dual core CPUs with HT at 65nm
64 bit extensions
1060 FSB
800Mhz DDR2 (dual channel = 12.4GB/s)

16x PCI-E Graphics (8GB/s bandwidth)
(compared to 2.1GB/s now).

SATA 2.0 (300MB/s drives)

12ms TFTs go mainstream (along with OLED units).

DTS-EX onboard sound.

WinXP 64 bit (probably with no drivers)

onboard WiFi (perhaps linking to 70mbits 802.16 wimax).


And to think I can still remember coding an iAPX86 (8086) at an incredible 6Mhz. Also one of these with the 4.77Mhz processor.

Are you prehistoric Tiggerz? Anyway do you have any insider info on the Hi Def audio stuff?

[Tiggerz]

Grantsdale chipset. Should be a patch from microsoft as well.

High def audio is the replacement standard for AC '97


Hey, dont call me old, or i'll hit you with a zx80 (one of the first machines I ever assembled myself - now those were the days when modding was modding).

I'm picking that one of the other mods has edited your post so that you aren't image leeching.
