The biggest change, however will be in the bus. PCI is maxed out. It really isn't adequate for servers or for graphic workstations. This will be huge.

IBM recently announced a line of micro mainframes. I'm curious what they are doing. PCs have long had more CPU power than mainframes, but have been limited by slow memory and storage access. It should be possible to build a system that feeds the CPU continuously and eliminates most of the waiting.
This would mean that storage devices would be a lot smarter than they are now.
