All I can say is I've been very dis satified with the last few nForce MB I purchaced.. They were hard to get working correctly at first, and seemed a bit twitchy. My last one just sucked, so I tried an ATI Chipset..
In the 8 years I've been building PC's (since turning to the Dark Side) I've used AMD CPU's and in the last 5 years ATI vid cards.
My last build with an Asus A8R3200MVP Dlx, AMD 64 3700+ (San Diego core OC'd to 2.45 MHz), and Two X1600XT vidcards running in crossfire mode was one of the easiest builds I've ever had. I built it first running 2K PRO and an X1800XL vid card, and a couple week later rebuilt with XP 64 and the crossfire cards just because. Both were done in record time without a hitch! And the Crossfire does out perform the X1800XL card.
I liked it so much I'm building a second, similar system for non gaming PC duties
I see the merger as a very good thing for people like me.
