I'm selling all my puter stuff and I won't be back till I can pick up one of those nForce's.

Anyone give me an estimate date.

i think it will be sometime in the fall since there was some news about repackaging the nForce chips to include more grounding so solve some signal clearity problems, new pins means that current reference boards have to be redesigned

Raspewtin: If you want a temp board (just till nForce comes out) then the PC Chips 817LMR can be had for only $63 at Computer Craft. It's Ali Magik and it's PC Chips, but if though they have a bad rep they don't work too bad if you're not overclocking, so you could get your processor and DDR ram and such and just use that will whenever. I'm sure you'd be able to get $40 back out of the thing in FS/T when you're done. $20 rental fee till October . . . not bad. I'm about to pop one of these into my parent's machine w/ a Duron 750 (they're already running a PC Chips board with a K6-2 366 and it works good but it's a little slow nowadays).
