NVidia nForce Facts

Ok, lets do some math here

Case: $30
Nforce MB: $120
cpu: Duron 850: $44
256 megs of Ram: $45
20 gig Hard drive: $70
keyboard, mouse, speakers: $60
19 inch monitor: $200
Total: $569
Thats for a system that will run anything very very very well. Not bad...

they're selling a board that has a geforce2,a great sound card, and a built in network card for only 150? thats an insane deal!

Does this article mention the nforce SLOWS DOWN when using a video card that is not one of the internal ones?

This was reported on another site with some beta hardware about 2 months ago, and everyone seemed to ignore it (plus people don't believe me)

All the fancy cool advanced speedy shit which makes the CPU -> memory / CPU in general / chipset stuff SLOWED DOWN when a foreign (including nvidia) video adapter was installed.

It was a bug (obviously) but I don't know if it's been nailed down yet.

Therefore you get l33t memory bandwidth in some gay package like sandra for example, with the GF2MX built in, but plug in a GF3 ultra (in 6 months time) and sure the computer WILL SPEED UP in games, but it will also slightly slow down in ram bandwidth.

I hope this bug gets nailed.

I'm hoping this all works out. I need to build a cheap system because my current athlon 850 is fubared beyond hope it seems...

FURST POAST!!!

Just ship those damn boards. I need to upgrade my PII-450!!!

could be first?
