hehe couldn't resist c.787 /i/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif But seriously I think VIA sucks big times. But if VIA come to be faster than Nforce Chipset again I think I'll still be choosing VIA and bear the pain of BSODing configs /i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif .

What dyou think

I had the Asus K7V which uses the VIA KT133 I believe, and although in the beginning there were some problems getting my AGP to run the way I want it and other things, once I got it going, it worked pretty nicely.

But right now, the nForce 2 is definitely faster and better. The first nForce pretty much sucked too, so nobody's perfect, hehe. /i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif

Yeah I've seen some reviews of the N2. I hope Nvidia will keep going that way and bury down VIA chitset. Until recently I was a fan of SiS chipsets for stability, but it was sacrified with lower speed than most Via mobos chipsets.

I personally don't have any love for the company nVidia, but if it's fast, I'll take it.
