Beamer - Re: "This was the chipset that was supposed to hand the entire performance market squarely in AMD's pocket. Now I'm sure the AMDroids will say that AMD didn't need that chipset, anyway. <g>" Yep - that's what the Droids are saying !!

wbmw, I would wait and see. It could only be driver problems. As for the cost structure everyone knew it would be costlier than other solutions. C

Wanna: Imagine how many flames you'd get if you had suggested nForce instabilities and overly high cost structure about 4 months ago. I did exactly that. [and oddly enough, I wasn't flamed for it at all]. Although NVIDIA is an impressive company, to expect them to pull off a stable chipset on their first go is… well… unrealistic. That said, this is actually the first I've heard of problems with nForce boards… but then I haven't read more than a couple reviews (major sites only, which is not necessarily indicative of review quality). -fyo EDIT: A few examples: Message 15977522 [Thursday, Jun 21, 2001] Message 15977598 [Thursday, Jun 21, 2001] Message 16144409 [Monday, Jul 30, 2001]
