At the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference

downix writes "At Toms Hardware they're running an article where they discuss the next-generation Windows graphics system. The big part of the scoop, it's being done via DirectX. Have to validate those 2Ghz CPU's and GPU's that need their own nuclear power plant to run somehow." Some other interesting things there - quiet PCs, more about the Oqo, etc.

    I would rather have a computer that I can actually upgrade then one that looks nice (Mine happens to be both and no one will mistake it for a lamp. Yes iMac, I was looking at you when I said that). Moreover the trend to replace every monitor with an LCD annoys the hell out of me. LCDs suck: they cost to much, their pixel refresh rate blows ass, there are invariably dead pixels, most have a limited view angle. The only thing they have going for them is size and if IBM would get off their ass and ship the inch thick CRTs they made LCDs wouldn't even have that.
