RE:"If I were to guess, the big problem has been nForce. It's a very attractive chip for the major OEMs. Rumor had it that HP was all ready to go with a design and cancelled it when they were going to miss for Christmas. Compaq is using it in their new line..."

Makes sense. The nforce was late and maybe buggy at first. I see there are some new nforce chipsets coming out, BTW, PC333 I think.

combjelly,

Compaq is using it [nForce] in their new line...

It is the 6000 line that is nForce based. I actually saw it in a retail store yesterday. The case looks attractive.

combjelly,

Actually, both the new 8000 line and new 6000 line have nVidia nForce motherboards: athome.compaq.com
