Where do you think computer parts will be? Ex. What will 1600$ buy then that it cant buy now? How much better will gcards/processors be?

I think most of our current gfx cards will be out of production, or really cheap. I would say for 1600 you could probably get like 2200 dollars worth of stuff now. Imagine the cost of 64 bit processors

by summer what amd 64 will be going $200? any guesses?

The 3800+. I figured the X800XT and the 6800 ULTRA will be SO CHEAP by summer. I mean I think they will drop at the end of summer to ~$320. I figured with the dual core cpus coming soon, they will make the x1000XT and have that running with 512 mb and running just as fast as dual x800XT's by the end of the year.

I say the FX-55 lowers down to around 400-500 dollars. The current top of the line graphics card will probaly be around 200-300 dollars.
