Which nForce board uses the nForce audio AND LAN?

Which nForce board uses the nForce's audio and LAN functions?

I've seen ones that use the nForce audio, but with a secondary LAN chip rather than the nForce LAN.

I'm looking to buy an nForce board but I would like it to use the nForce audio and nForce LAN

asus a7n266-e uses the onboard audio, video, and lan.

i own one, but its in its rma stages right now. it is a excellent board though.

Doesn't this mobo use a RealTek ethernet chip and not the nForce one?

yeah, I thought the ASUS board uses a Realtek chip for the LAN! As far as I know, the MSI boards are the only ones that use the nForce Audio, and LAN chipset support.

yeah, but what is the difference between the two? i dont think you would be able to tell a difference.

AFAIK, my MSI K7N420 Pro uses nForce's LAN (and definitely audio). Although I don't think it matters all that much.

Why not just go with the ASUS A7N266-C? It comes with nForce audio, LAN (separate chip), NIC, modem, and extra thermal control properties for your AMD CPU. It's just $100. Pretty good deal IMHO.

The only nForce boards I'll use in my systems.

When the Abit and Asus engineers were designing their nForce boards a parallel universe open up, one where Realtek made quality products, fish fly through the air and Bob Sagget has his own TV channel. After returning to our side, still dazed from watching Bob Sagget for 48 straight hours, they opted for Realtek on their motherboards forgetting the horrible quality and performance Realtek controllers in our universe are known for.

Thats the only way to explain it

You can also find the A7N266-C without onboard LAN.

I have the Abit NV7-133R which uses the realtek LAN chip & it works great! No problems whatsoever
