Hardware Computex 2009 Review

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2009/06/11/computex-2009-review/1

We were out in Taipei, Taiwan for the 2009 Computex trade show for the past two weeks. Now that we're back in more familiar territory in London, we take a look back at the big trends during the show, from Netbooks, to DX11 and Windows 7.

 

how come the second Gigabyte P55 motherboard (that looks like their top end by the number of SATA ports) have 6 memory slots? so 3 dual-channel connections? support up to 24GB?
(my dream is coming true!)

those P55 motherboards looks promissing with SATA 6GB and USB3. can't wait.

 

Looks like there will be some nice new goodies soon.

 

Or triple channel DDR3 maybe?

Or are they keeping triple channel for their premium chips only?

 

Lynnfield is dual-channel only

 

err.... where are all the booth babes??

 

so only 940 is going off the shelf, good call from intel i think

can't wait to for i5 to come out they look pretty awsome

 

No, all of the i7 range except the 975 will disappear

 

Im not even considering a new system build until DX11 cards are actually released and then I will build around that until then I am going sit as still as possible and get my moneys worth out of my current system. I may go the i5 route if they OC as well as they say they do I will go with that and as far as the whole x16 thing that people are wining about ehh I will just go for a dual gpu card and be done with it.

 

Sounds good.
A lot of new gear coming out.

 

im waiting for a p55 with lots of sata ports and an on board gpu for a new server (and 4gb dual channel ddr3 ram sticks)

and second generation dx11 cards before getting a new gaming machine
