I used an Nvidia Nforce-based motherboard in the first computer I ever built, so I’m a little sad to see that Nvidia’s freezing all development on their Nforce chipset because of licensing issues with Intel, primarily over whether or not Nvidia’s licence covers chipsets for Nehalem-based processors. Nvidia’s not developing new chipsets for AMD’s processors, either. Lame-o. [PC Mag]

meh, my first computer used an nforce4 ultra, and Disk IO was terrible. copying from one drive to another was fast, but as soon as you did anything else with any other disk while it was doing it it would slow to a crawl.
same disks in an x58 mobo and they work great, can copy from drive 1 to 2 and then if I start a copy from drive 3 to 4, the speed of the first transfer is unaffected.
