<font color=red>August 10-11th for nForce. IBM and HP. Looks like IBM and HP will bring nForce to the party. SDWALKs works for a large Canadian White Box outfit. ragingbull.lycos.com If you like to buy brand name computers and want nForce, Take a look at ibm.ca after August 10. HP will also be offering nForce systems about the same time. If you have a Staples near you, go in after August 10 and take a look. Cannot wait! Milo

Andreas I agree, but it's not bad for a first effort. Expect some polish as time goes on. Did you notice this depressing note from his nForce article? Ace's Hardware has reported that nForce motherboards may be available as soon as August. NVIDIA has only stated that product availability will be this fall. The Santa Clara, California based graphics chip company has disclosed, however, that the launch date is contingent on both AMD Palomino and Windows XP availability. In fact, NVIDIA has even positioned that initial nForce OS support would be limited to Windows XP and ME. This casts some doubt on the August timeframe, and may mean that nForce motherboards will not reach market until September or even as late as October 25th, the Windows XP release date. Given that I'm a frequent upgrader, I'm hoping XP flops; and ME is awful. eCo
