    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.

    @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.

    This sounds great but my understanding is that most apps can't use quad cores.



    I have a 2.0 GHz c2d.

    If I get a 2.0 GHz with four quads will my CD's and DVDs rip faster?



    What will be the immediate effect?

    @resource: No immediate affect, as hardware needs to be coded to support multiple cores. There is a diminishing effect for adding more cores to a CPU, as the jump from 2 to 4 won't be as big as 1 to 2, etc...



    CPU intensive tasks that can be performed in a parallel fashion are what scale the easiest. Usually this involves programs that work with large sets of data like video encodes or photo processing. It should also take off more burden when multi-tasking. However, it will NOT make single-core programs like Office any faster.

    You probably don't want to hear what I have to say because I'm really biased.


    In fact I JUST built twin Core i7 gaming systems this past weekend for my bro-in law and I running Windows 7 64 too!


    I've always sworn by Intel CPUs and chipsets for their reliability, but my mind is blown with the Core i7.


    Newegg actually GAVE AWAY AMD CPUs with our orders!

    Now I have three of these "brisbane" things sitting around taking up space.


    So anyway, good luck.

    @chorx: Apparently you enjoy paying to support monopolies that overcharge as much as possible. This is how we got Microsoft, no competition meant no reason to price competitively. Now we're paying $400 for a new OS when it comes out, and $300 for a decent Office suit. Maybe if you have so much money to spare you should spread the wealth a little bit.

    How much power does any one of us really need? I mean this is a ridiculously powerful processor for most tasks. So it might take a few more seconds doing a video job here or a few frames off a game set on killer than the best Intel piece.


    Do we really want AMD to go away? Not if we like decent prices and continued improvement.


    If AMD dies, we lose a lot more than just an alternative.


    I always try to buy and promote AMD and will do so until they get more of a footing against a huge and very, very good Intel. I have yet to be dissappointed with any AMD products in the recent past.

    @Pootie Tang: There's no need to apologize for AMD when they clearly bested intel on some of the tests.


    They are competitive for the moment, and the review says so, but points out that they will need to make further architectural improvements to stay competitive, as intel is already set on an easier performance growth path.
