What hardware you interested in this year?

As per thread title, interested what people are looking forward to.

For me it's hopefully cheaper DDR3 as it becomes more mainstream.

Nothing really, but I might buy a Macbook later this year and hopefully there will be a refresh!

higher capacity SSD and cheaper ones ofcourse, oh yes - LCD TV's to come down a bit more in price then I can get more for my budget.

the next REAL generation of graphics cards using 1 GPU. The kind that will make 8800's and 3870x2's look so close together, you will wonder what the fuss was about.

HDMI 1.3 enabled graphics card for my Hi-def pc, it will then give me the excuse to upgrade my AV amp!
