How would you rate 2007 hardware-wise?

WhO_KnOwS · Dec 5, 2007, 04:59 PM

Good or bad? Why?

**kris23** · Dec 5, 2007, 06:41 PM

best ever man.... its like the golden age where people with somewhat limited wallets could buy nice ass machines for sub $1000

damn good year imo..

but even more interesting good hardware to come....

Definitely the best year for high end Hardware at a great price meaning everyone could own a top of the line Rig... not just the rich!!

I thought it was a good year. I just wish AMD/ATi went out with a bang. If not its back to INTEL and nVidia.

Great year. Powerful mid-range systems for good prices.

Good year. Wish I'd had the money to do some major upgrades. Here's to hoping the coming year is even better.

Love the prices!
Upgraded this year to a mid-range system for the lowest amount I've spent in a long time! Amazing year, for value at the very least.

Fantastic year for the hardware enthusiast thats for sure, lots of new products, new specs hitting the street (DDR3, X38, P35, 45nm, 55nm GPU's, SSD,etc to name a few)

I am very happy with this year

Let's see...Quad Cores, iPhone & Ipod Touch, 8800GTS/GT and some sweet ass cheap LCD monitors. This was the best year for hardware that I can remember mostly because the prices weren't so high.

I can imagine it would have been better for me if i had more cash but i suppose that's what birthdays, christmas and employment are for

Excellent, best year in a while!

..but I spent a lot on 2006, so I'll have to wait till 08 or later to fully update again..

"Excellent, best year in a while!"

swimtech · Dec 9, 2007, 02:38 PM

The whole gamut - CPUs, mainboards, memory, video cards, displays, drives, even power supplies (!) it has been about the best year ever - even better than the year that saw the intro of the PIII/Celeron (A), and then the Athlon, I think...

Skull · Dec 9, 2007, 03:40 PM

apart from AMD it was a great year for most companies I feel.

Erroneus · Dec 9, 2007, 04:53 PM

With the hardware-prices we seen lately, eg. on ram, it's been crazy and with the introduction of cards like 8800gt and 3850hd, plus the low prices on Core2Duo and AMD's topmodels, you can get a excellent pc today for very little money

Excellent year !

PC_Inquisitor · Dec 9, 2007, 08:59 PM

Well, DX 10 Hardware has a lot of power... but DX 10 games look... almost like DX 9 ones... For me this year was just good (new Quad cores!!!).

Lowfat · Dec 10, 2007, 12:34 AM

2006 was better

crapman777 · Dec 10, 2007, 05:03 AM

Call me harsh, but this year was pretty ordinary. What truly revolutionary hardware did we see, apart from Intel's quad core?
Nothing that would really be considered as evolutionary or revolutionary in the PC world... Another batch of new generation graphics cards that barely make use of DX10, even the quad core doesnt really become useful in any major software, memory and hard drive prices plummeted, but can anyone challenge me as to what really stood out?
