Shortcomings Revealed in nForce4 SLI Redux

EconolineCrush writes "Slashdot recently covered the launch of NVIDIA's nForce 4 SLI chipset for Intel processors, and although early reviews fawned over the chipset's performance, closer examination reveals several shortcomings that the initial wave of coverage failed to document. Problems with stability, drivers, and the chipset's oft-praised hardware-accelerated firewall and Gigabit Ethernet controller escaped the scrutiny of many reviews."

I respect your kung-foo, but this line:-

These days, AMD is the singlemost important chip maker on the planet, second only to Intel

is off the wall.

How can something be the singlemost important chip maker, yet still be second only to Intel?

Your kung-foo intrigues me.

Perhaps that would make them the second-most important chip maker on the planet then?

Shocked...

I'm shocked... shocked!... that hardware review sites would make a half-assed job of their review just in order to be the first to publish.

Whatever next!?!?

Yea, go...

Having watched Hackers last night, I feel now would be the correct opportunity to mention that...
