Re: . I'm a little worried about what monitor types and resolutions would be supported by an nForce. But I'm not looking for it to be a solution for more than a year or 18 months anyway. Any comments?

Hi Carl,

Even the very inexpensive SiS 730 integrated chipset supports up to 1920x1440, so the nForce should be fine. Nvidia has been charging so much for the chipset that it isn't compelling on a cost basis yet, but I think you're right that the cost will come down.

My 2 cents would be that even though the reviews we've all seen don't show any significant performance benefit for nForce at this point, even when configured with 2 DIMMs for a 128 bit memory path, it could well be that nForce will show improvement as the drivers mature.

Besides, it is such an interesting product from a technical standpoint.

On another note, do you have any sense of current flash pricing at the component level? Flash is very important to AMD, and appears to be gaining importance at Intel as Intel dedicates more FABs to flash production. Both companies claim superior technology, and I was wondering if one or the other is receiving a price premium in the marketplace.

Regards,

Dan
