I can't seem to find the old reviews of the nForce1 and its IGP. I want to know the difference between 420, 220 and a regular video card. Pity nForce2 IGP is barely squeaking out now.

I know that if you don't use the onboard graphics on nforce1 you can't take advantage of something....can't remember what it is though sorry =(, some memory thing i think

the vidcard for nforce 2, blows i think, suppose to be gf4 mx right? I might be wrong though

Onboard graphics on a nF1 is GeForce 2 MX level. The Dual-Channel DDR is what really helps with this, but if you don't use the onboard gfx, then the dual-channel ddr isn't really needed.

The nF2 IGP has GF4 MX level gfx, same applies, the dual-channel DDR helps out most when using this :)

And the "220" variant (rather than 420) didn't support this dual-mode at all, right? :(
MX-200. Yecch. ;)

The MX-420 +/- of the nForce2 would be much better.... though it's still a pipe dream.

And NOW they go and say something ELSE is in the works.... yeesh! :p

Nforce 220 - onbaord graphics, single Channel DDR
Nforce 415 - Dual channel, no graphics
Nforce 420 - Dual channel, Onbaord graphics

has for the onboard graphics with the Nforce 2 MSI should have thiers out now or vary soon.
