    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.

    Gods, this just flashed me back to a time I was working at a local Community College, and when leaving work late one night, came upon a mass of people with PVC pipes wrapped in pipe insulation "battling".


    "2 DAMAGE" they yelled. And I shivered and went to my car to weep for humanity.

    Anyone else remember the old Nerf swords? With the little squares around the handle that you were supposed to stab?

    @Anonymoose: That's not the whole story, just the Introduction. The rehab is the MEAT of the story.


    Once out of the hottub, it was clear the boys had been reduced to soggy matzoh balls and the excess water needed to be drained without damaging the jewels inside. This was complicated by the fact that "Nerf Balls" is often accompanied by Elephantitis of the Testicles. A drainage point had to be made at the lowest point of the decending nerfs to allow for full effectiveness. This was completed gingerly with the tip of the above N Force sword pictured above (it's sharper than it looks). At this point the nerfs were more football shaped than basketball and working out the fluid was time consuming but strangely pleasant...

    wait, are these things made out of the normal nerf foam? it looks like plastic in the picture. if it is the foam, then soaking those things and freezing them is a recipe for awesomeness.

    it's closed cell foam - it wont soak up much water.


    sounds like your plan has been foiled, eh?
