It's nice to see another player. And it's really getting hard to wait for nForce2.

Could be cheaper than NEC's part. I dunno...
 
Yeah, I noticed the via usb with trepidation. I have enough usb problems with my current via mobo. I also noticed they are using the Realtek audio and I didn't include the info about using Realtek for LAN and that it's a "manufacturer option".

I don't get why they aren't using the nForce's LAN option? :Q
 
GoogleGear has the ASUS A7N266-C with nForce audio, NIC, modem, etc. for $124. Not too bad of a deal IMO, but if this Abit board is anywhere near $124 I'm grabbing it. 😀
