My case has an extra expansion above the AGP for back plates. I suspect alot of cases do also. And personally, I hope for 2 slots. It assures me that the card is being cooled properly.

My case has a slot above the AGP card too, but the cables for my Firewire/USB bracket won't reach that far.
 
Um... why don't you people like on-board lan? My on-board ethernet works fine, and I'm a little confused as to how replacing it with an Intel NIC would improve any aspect of..... anything. Except Intel's bottom line that is.

Currently, not many boards have a Gigabit NIC chip onboard. Those who need it (or think they do😉) will argue this point. Personally, I can't tell the diff b/t the onboard nic on my 8RDA+ and my 10/100 Linksys card.

Give ya one guess which one I use. 😀
 
Oh no! It takes up another PCI Slot! Ahh! This is way too overrated. If it helps nvidia any I think they should just forget about the PCI Slot Issuse.

I think its kind of like how Raid card work and SCSI controllers because their are now 'hardware' network chips and 'software' network chips. The software one basically hands the job over to the cpu while the hardware one will do it for you. This can help a lot or none depending on the situation. For example, during Kazaa, usage can reach 20% on my P4 1.7Ghz (I'm upgrading in 3 weeks or so). The hardware network chip would lower it down to maybe 2 or 3% if nothing else is really using the cpu.

Don't know what to tell you guys that still use so many PCI cards. Modern mobos have onboard NIC, sound, Firewire, USB,etc.

Quality components are more important to me than cheap or convenient. YMMV.

Some integrated Ethernet controllers are good. Some aren't. So don't make generalizations without knowing the particulars of the individual product and user.
 
1) The on-board nic on the regular A7N8X sucks, the 3com works great on the deluxe.
2) My Antec AWG1080 has front firewire and usb connectors.
3) I keep having sound issues with the on-board sound on Emperor dune, but only one game.

My point here is that I have only one PCI slot used (SCSI), but I can see how others might use more even with integrated mobos. On the other hand, If I fixed the one game problem with drivers or something, then the only thing I would need to have the same as NFS4 would be an external modem, and ONE internal PCI tuner card.

BTW, on-topic, I have nothing but ATI cards in my systems, but this one sounds good enough to try if they come down in price later !
 
too all the people who are bitching about the NV35 taking up 2 slots, dont bother because you'll just be left behind in the dust by the sheer power of the NV35.. And im sure if an NV35 magically appeared on your laps, you would MAKE room for it instead of bitching about it, back in the voodoo2 days i have an AGP video card plus TWO voodoo2 cards hooekd up in SLI mode, nobody bitched back then i dont see why you gotta bitch now. live with it
 
Sounds like a promising card although it's way out of my price range. I'm waiting for a good card to replace my Radeon 8500LE, so I'm waiting for a solid DirectX 9 card to come down to the $100-150 range. NV35 will surely help speed things up 😀
 
Just wondering, how is an addon network card better than some onboard chips?

Someone brought up Kazaa, but Kazaa eats up 20% at a time on my addon card. Either way, i'm only sending ~700 kbits back and forth across the connection--a modern day cpu can handle that, right?
 
onboard lan and standalone network card is the same thing, and if there is a difference, its so little that nobody cares. Go look at all the server based motherboards out there, a large LARGE majority of them have integrated gigabit ethernet. look at the Anandtech forum servers, if onboard lan is good enough for server, its good enough for the casual users who post here.
 
The real questions are: when is the NDA up and when will Anand have his preview? I bet he's really looking forward to gloating about NVDA again! Heck, his review could cause his stock in NVDA to go up! I bet he'd like that...

Edit: This post is not suppose to be that sarcastic.

A bit harsh there? And any evidence to back that up or is this just a bunch of mindless drivel like I assume it is?

Yes, a bit harsh. Yes, mindless drivel. But, if I were in Anand's shoes, I'd own NVDA stock...

Whether he's been jumping at the bit to loudly announce nVidia's return to the throne is a question only he can answer.

cant blame the guy for liking a superior product

Where was that superiority from Summer '02 til now? 😀
 
I just want to see what Kyle Bannit (yes, last name spelled like that on purpose) has to say about it 😛
