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.
