permit me to say a few words of caution.

don't jump on the technological wagon that fast. & that means u too, tovi. for your own good, that is. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

if anybody remembers DDR400 RAM technology which went commercial sometime last year, it wasn't as good on board (by that i mean real life) as on paper. firstly, it wasn't stable (prone to noise probs due to it running at very high frequency) & secondly u couldn't have more than two of those RAMs on your motherboard. the overall signal noise generated will cause your system to be very unstable. 3rdly, it's not as fast as expected. in another words; over-hyped. do check out reviews done in Tom's Hardware on DDR400 RAMs & motherboards, especially the early adopters.

which is why i'm still on Win Me & not on the Win XP wagon yet. not that Win Me is that good but i don't want my hard disk to chug like my old '65 opel kadett when bloated with Win XP. maybe i'll wait for SP3 or SP4 before jumping on that unstable wagon.

anyway, PCI express looks & sets to be the next generation for graphics port but not without hiccups. same thing goes with 64-bit whatever (processors, RAMs, HDs, motherboards, etc). let the technology get mature & stable before going for it. same thing also applies for people who set their eyes on DVD home theatre systems. DVD technology has yet to mature as well. u can see manufacturers are toying with propriety technologies (sony, toshiba, chinese companies, etc). in the future u'll see blue-ray DVD, HD-DVD, double-sided DVD, DVD-RAM of assorted technologies, etc.

so u see it doesn't really pay to be the early adopter.
