I am about to by a new computer after my move to another city to study. Now i wonder if it is possible to buy one with an nforce-chipset?
I strongly advise you against it.
I've also got a new computer recently and was considering an nforce chipset. But all drivers are proprietary, you cannot even install linux by network on it. I won't pay nvidia to make my life harder.
I do recommend what I've got - an intel i845 chipset. It has 3D support ( from tux racer to enemy teritorry, it works great out of the box ). I've got a gigabyte mb with network, audio and video on it, working almost great https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101787
I also don't have to manually install and wait for nvidia drivers now.
