if you're referring to the nforce2 "DualNet" it's just 2 NICs which allow you to function as a router.

Yes exactly what I'm referring to. So if I don't have any other computers it's useless?

yeah, but I wouldn't decide not to buy a mobo just because I can't use the 2nd NIC.

Haha of course I won't judge it on that. I plan on buying a nforce2 mobo soon actaully. Maybe in the next couple of weeks or so. Thanks for the info!

nforce2 seems awesome. I'll probably end up getting one soon too.

Yeah especially with all the features. However do you know of any nforce2 boards with the IGP north bridge?

Ok. Say you had an really old video card like a TNT2 or a GF2 MX-400, would you get the nForce2 IGP motherboard or would you rather by a seperate video card and nForce2 SPP motherboard?

I think if I were an extreme gamer, I'd go seperate. If I was just using ot for surfing/word processing etc. I'd go integrated.

If Intel wasn't planning on releasing a board with 800 MHz, Dual DDR would have kicked some heavy butt!! I am gonna buy an Ep-8RDA+ (Epox for the uninitiated) with nForce2.
it will absolutely humble my current SL75DRV5.
