    This is disappointing, as I was hoping Nvidia would fight Intel on this. This is a step back for notebook users who want decent integrated graphics.

    my shuttle sn41g2 is still going strong.

    It's sad that the nforce2 is still the best chipset nvidia ever produced. It's one of the reasons I never upgraded. Soundstorm for life.

    @SmDFrylock: I tossed mine because the gimpy power supply finally gave up. I know at least two other people that had the same thing happen. Other than that it was a fantastic machine.

    @dingus: PSU? Just replace it my man. Nforce2 wasn't a whole PC it was a chipset on a motherboard. And yes Soundstorm with it's on the fly dolby digital was AWESOME!

    @SmDFrylock:
    Lol, I'm resting my feet on my sn41g2 right now! It's under my desk, it was a bit too loud as my WHS box (stupid tiny PSU fan), but otherwise a great box. I'm sure I'll find a good use for it soon enough.

    @Zombie16[THC]: Agreed. At one point I had five of these, ended up selling one, parting a second out and giving a third one away. I've replaced the PSUs on the other 2 and they've been fine ever since. I don't ask much of them, anymore. I wish that FlexATX had more support outside of shuttle, as a form factor. I've gone to building with microATX since then, but I'm no fan of the bulk.

    @Zombie16[THC]: I replaced the filter cap that tends to bleed to death (+5VSB) twice on mine. After the third time it died I threw in the towel and went Athlon64 X2 on an NForce3 board.

    @werk: I spent something like $50 trying all sorts of different fans to replace the crap it came with. Eventually the Panasonic fluid bearing won, being the quietest of the lot for the airflow.

    In reply to Confirmed: Zune HD Rocks the Nvidia Tegra
    Wow, this is the first time reading a tech blog where the comments section isnt filled with complete hate for zune and love for ipod. I own an ipod touch, and completely love it (first apple product in like 10 years), but as much as i love it, I might have to grab a zune now. If they can somehow integrate a good control method (my biggest complaint against games on itouch/phone) then I think this could be a real killer device, even if it dosn't catch on in the public eye, because its not an apple product.


    In no way am I ragging on either apple or MS in this post.

    Now it's just a matter of how big the HDD is. Odds are it won't be big enough. I could go with 64GB with some sacrifices. Why can't any of these companies pair a HDD with a touchscreen anyway!?

    @Kiamat: HDDs add massive bulk, and also make it much more fragile. Plus no matter what, you will never have enough space, people will always want more. I know your not the norm, but most people dont need 64gigs of space I have an 8gig ipod, and i have hit the ceiling, but i wouldnt need more then 32 for a good year or two easily.

    @Mario Hernandez: With Microsoft's current price model, this could end up at the same pricetag, but I'm wondering how they'll get this plus the OLED display to come in at the same price (or better) at the same or better display.

    so squeeze in a few antennas, accelerometer, gps chip, compass doo-hickey, 5.0 mp camera, maybe a slide out keyboard and we're all set. anyone keepin' an eye out for job postings by microsoft in this field? hopefully we're well beyond that stage, though.

    The Tegra platform is basically a Mid range laptop on a chip. It's pretty awesome. Constant music playing for 25 days? Fuck yeah!

    Ok, listen up, Microsoft. You've got me so far. I want the Zune HD. Here's what you have to do to seal the deal: please don't over price this. The ball is in your court.

    I'd say that I'd like this to be in a next gen Mac Mini, but I'd much rather see something like the 9400M, like the Macbooks, or better.

    Awesome. It would seem AMD is truly dead. That or they're hiding in the shadows and lurking.


    By the way... I thought AMD was the "cheaper" and "better" processor?

    @waza0: I thought Intel made it clear they won't be be working on anything less then 4 cores from now on so this comes as a surprise to me.


    *** Core i7 is a solid platform. I went i7 because didn't want to have to re-buy my motherboard for a while.
