I suspect that games will still get to gobble all the GPU horsepower when they're running full screen... in which case maybe we'll just get more capable graphics cards, because it won't just be power games pushing the envelope.

They're way behind the power curve on the hard drive front though... REAL hardcore hardware freaks run network storage. I've got 2TB, 1 on a 2003AS box, one on this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833329005

With the gigabit network, both shares are faster than local storage... and with Raid5 they're safer too.
