However, the snafu is that you must have an nVidia video card to go along with it (or use the on-chipset crap video card.) So you're SOL i think, at least until nvidia gets a bit less selfish. -Josh Rabid cheeseburgers forced "Randy S." to write this on Tue, 24 Dec 2002 16:21:37 -0500: > Hi folks, > > I recently acquired a motherboard with an NVidia nForce 2 chipset > (more > specifically, its a Chaintech CT-7NJS).
