Please log in for more thread options Hello, Intel Makes the CPUs. Yet you can get a motherobard with an NVIDIA chipset. Are they any advantages to a motherboard with NVIDIA chipset versus a motherboard with an Intel chipset? Thanks, Talal | |||||||||||||

Although with the use of hacks and older drivers, one can make SLI work on motherboards with Intel, ATI and ULi chipsets, Nvidia has stated that only their own chipsets can allow SLI to function optimally, and that *they will not allow SLI to work on any other* vendor's chipsets. That is a reason to use an Nvidia chipset. This is the situation for ATI CrossFire (using two ATI video cards to accelerate 3D rendering). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATI_CrossFire "ATI has opened the Crossfire architecture to Intel, allowing CrossFire to be enabled on certain Intel chipsets which boast two 16x PCI-E slots." SLI = Nvidia chipsets only (with a few small exceptions) Crossfire = ATI/AMD chipsets plus Intel chipsets If you only ever use one video card for normal work, then there is hardly a reason to care about the chipset. If you play 3D games on the computer, and can afford to purchase two video cards, to combine their graphics power, then you may want to think about which chipset to use, based on the above two rules. http://www.slizone.com/object/slizone_ecosystem.html Paul | |||||||||||||
