Andreas: Also keep in mind that a GeForce 2 MX 400 is faster than a GeForce 2 MX. I think the integrated solution performs exactly as expected. It's still performs much better than a TNT2 or a GF2MX200 which are both still used in retail PCs.

Could you provide a quick overview of the difference betw. MX200, MX and MX400. I thought MX200 was equal to MX&#133 but I'll readily admit that I've never checked the information ;-)

The main disadvantage of the nForce is IMO not that the integrated graphics isn't quite on par with a GF2MX400 but that it requires two DDR dimms and the more expensive nForce version to reach that performance. I doubt that many OEMs will go that way. They'll probably only use nForce 220 which video performance is at GF2MX200 levels or worse.

I think OEMs will go in whichever direction demand dictates. Depending on the price difference, I could see a lot of demand for 420, whereas the 220 model might have to compete with the other low-end video solutions.
