I can't remember Nvidia really releasing anything other than a re-branded card but this year will be the year of the Fermi. Sata 3 will be in full force this year and with that comes many of new exciting things like the new Crucial RealSSD C300, which I might say will be picking one up in a month or so, as well as a whole new line of mobos with Sata 3. Maybe USB 3 will be out too this year. HWBot finallly got a long over due revision. Don't give up on this year yet as we are still only in the 1st quarter. We have three more to go. I know last year we didn't have this much released within the 1st quarter.

I guess you are right. Alot of stuff has come out. Maybe it's just me? I mean for instance I'm not all that into SSD's and such but would still get excited when new stuff was announced. Maybe with all the shit going on in my life this past year I need to lay off of the....

What pisses me off is Intel could easily release some more affordable 32nm chips but feel they have to milk the status quoe that simply has not the patcience to wait for it.
I think the few out there that will spend 1K on a chip will do so weather there are cheaper products availible or not ...
the open multies have their place but unfortunatly not in my rig
with nV ready to go by months end and a possible refresh via 5890 come April. I am hopeful things are turning around in the tech news .....

Well even though I won't be getting a unlocked GT, it does still excite me. I guess the lack of a competitive market in graphics is where the percieved slowdown is? God I can't wait till Fermi launches. It should for sure make life a little more exciting.
