<< In addition to the latest A7N266 DDR motherboard and AMD 1.4GHz Athlon, this advanced demo system features a revolutionary cooling solution from GlacialTech, INC. It's lightweight aluminum heatsink and energy efficient design enhances system stability by redistributing heat away from the CPU. The result is the coolest system temperatures possible, extremely stable operation and enhanced performance. >>


I WOULD LIKE SOME MORE INFO ON THAT.

Ditto squared. Finally, a REALLY stable chipset for AMD!

I'm not even using the RAID on my mobo (I ordered a KT7A from AllStarComponents, and they sent me a KT7A-RAID at no extra cost:Q). Besides, I'm only using 7GB on my 30GB hard drive (and 3.12GB of that is MP3's).

And it will slice your bread also. I admit the prospect of faster performance is very nice, integrated sound and video is kind of meh. But where are you getting this info that its going to be super-stable? Or are you just assuming?

I can't wait!!!!!! :) I'm gonna build my first computer on the Asus board! I'm not a video buff, so I don't really care about the integrated video (al least it's gonnna be GOOD integrated stuff), and I'm gonna use the sound too :) Talk about an EASY system to build!!!! I can't wait :) :) :)

I'm just assuming. All of the Nvidia chips I've used have been super stable, as have all the Asus mobos I've used. That's my logic, I hope it works out :)

Hopefully they MSI will be there Monday. I'll call Monday and see what the prices are. Also I'll see if they heard anything on the Asus nForce boards.

Wow now its going to be tough to decide between the nforce and the 760mp. I thought my choice would be easy since the nforce wouldnt be out in time for me but now hmmm...

It all depends on if you want a dual setup or not.

Well i do Wanta dual processor system but i probably dont need one. It will probably come down to whatever is around sooner and looks more attractive at the time.

Looks like the nforce boards are coming first. Probably the final thing that pushed me into the reality that I don't need to waste *more* money on a dual board and *another* CPU to play games and surf the web. Nothing in those two areas that can convince me to front the additional cost.

ANY NEWS on the MSI boards???

Are there any reveiws for the nForce?
I'm looking into getting an Amd 1.4ghz. So should I wait like a week or two or is the difference neglible?
