I still don't like the non-ultra NF4 boards. They just seem so crippled, and at $130 they aren't exactly a steal either. After all, i got a Chaintech VNF4/Ultra board for $119, and that has all the goodies like SATA-II, Activearmor, ntune, etc. Plus, non-ultras use the A1 and A2 silicon, which can't run at 1GHz HTT, so i don't hold much faith in its overclocking ability.

oh newegg.. i used to purchase from them almost exclusively, but lately i've been finding a lot of vendors with much better prices. although, the last purchase i made was a neopower from zzf so i guess it's going into the same pockets anyway.

NF4 is PCI Express (PCIe) only.



Uh, actually all the Nforce 4 boards have 3 standard PCI slots. They are PCI only for graphics, but you can still use PCI NICs, Soundcards, etc.

Also, this motherboard is out of stock.

I think bob661 was trying to say that there is no AGP slot on NF4 boards.
