    In search of COLD HARD FACTS of IGP chipsets

    I've just about had it. Just when I've thought I've figured it all out, I would read another conflicting internet report.

    Nvidia 6150 with 6600 or 6800 on PCI-e x16?

    Does anyone know whether or not the addition of a 6600 or 6800 GPU to a 6150 motherboard will work with the 6150 integrated graphics, like SLI, or would the two have independent displays (like ATI is claiming with their x200), or would the added GPU simply cancel out the onboard GPU?

    Mixing Nvidia SLIx32 chipset with ATI Radeon x1000 series GPU

    I was wondering if anyone out there can tell me if it would be a good or disasterous if I built a machine with an Nvidia SLIx32 chipset motherboard, used one of the x16 PCI-e slots for an ATI Radeon x1600 card for its GPU, and used two PCI-e x1 slots for ATI Theater 550 Pro cards. The reason why...

    Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI

    Does anyone know if this uses a heatsink, a fan, or some kind of hybrid? I can't tell from the picture. It looks like a good board. If it uses a fan, or heatsink-hybrid, how are its noise levels? Also, how's the spacing between PCI-E slots? I had to return the Abit AN*-SLI because my...

    K8N Diamond Plus may be best SLI-16 board! ?

    Wow, this silent heat-sinking board seems to have EVERYTHING, including SoundBlaster Audigy SE and EAX Advanced HD. It looks like it has much of the same features as the Asus SLI-32 Deluxe, but with HD sound and possibly Bluetooth. I'm sketchy on the details and ask all of you to help me find...
