2010 Technology Preview

We've seen the future and it's full of new and exciting hardware for power users


So much in life is unknowable. Will the economy rebound? Hard to say. Will oil prices skyrocket? Maybe, maybe not. Will Brangelina add to their brood? Frankly, we don’t care. But one thing’s for sure: Technology is ever-changing and each year guarantees new advances for the PC user.
As we do every year around this time, we got on the horn with our industry contacts—experts in their respective fields—and pressed them for details about what new and exciting hardware power users can look forward to in 2010. Some of what we learned was expected (SATA speeds will double), some came from out of left field (six 30-inch panels on a single videocard?!), and some just plain make sense (like a Nehalem chip for the masses).

I thought its something about office 2010. LOL

I like the idea of fiber channel coming out next year some time (hopefully).

I believe USB 3.0 was just pushed back, but will be coming out on new boards next year. Cheaper SSD's would be nice. I refuse to pay the prices now for them.

I cannot wait for USB 3.0 I will buy a new board but hopefully not new interface external disks.....

Nate,

The device will also have to be USB 3.0 compliant, otherwise it will still run at USB 2.0 speeds when connected to a USB 3.0 port on the new motherboards.
