Jim, To answer both of your posts, if you go to configure a PC, and select an AMD processor, it will actually show nForce logo on the configuration screen, and one of the options for graphics card is not to have an external one, and to use the integrated one instead. As far as wattage of the power supplies, the problem used to be not enough power on the +3.3 and + 5V lines. If a certain percentage of the total in on those 2 lines, say 50$ and you need 150W for the motherboard operation, you need 300W power supply to supply 150W you need. If the motherboard can use the auxiliary 12V connectors, than there is less of a need to have an oversized power supply. Joe
