    Best Nvidia chipset for AMD?

    I want to know if any of you have had several motherboards with Nvidia chipsets if you can say which ones you found worked the best.

    I'd prefer no on-board video.

    what video card do plan on using ?

    the onbaord video on AM2 7XXA+ is used for hybrid to trun off 3d cards completely when in 2D. power saving feature.

    the foxconn destroyer 4 pci-express slots. yo ucan go TRI SLI with 4 card as physic card.

    just make sure you get a big case, as I know there only 5 cases with more then 7 expansion slots

    thremaltake armour full tower, Thremaltake Xaser IV full tower, li lain PC80 full tower ,XCLIO 1000 full tower, and ABS Canyon 695.


    I'm sure wioth the new nehalem boards will be see more of these beast popup

    Which video card? Well, I have an HD 4670 and I ordered an 8800GS because I think the HD 3000 series and HD 4000 series (not the X1000 series and not the Nvidia cards) have some tiny issues with the 780G chipset (my Asus M3A78-EM anyway).

    I'll likely be using the 8800GS because it's the same performance in UT3 and I read in the AVSforum that someone could not tell the difference between the 9600GT and the HD 4670 in Blu-Ray or HD DVD movies. I mean I also ordered a Thermalright HR-03 GT for it and I already received a Nexus 92mm fan to put on it. (Those silent black and white or orange Nexus fans are amazing. I just tested several brands on a fan controller today. BTW, the transparent Nexus fans push HELLA LOT of air but they make more noise.)

    I would say the NF590SLI, had nothing but great experiences with it when I had my Crosshair. Prior to that my experiences with nforce chipsets were horrible, most notably the NF4 chipset, I've heard the 680 and 780 chipsets have issues as well. How nVidia can make a stonkingly good chipset like the NF590 then fark it all up in newer chipsets is nothing short of blundering stupidity IMO.

    I googled ACC and didn't really find an explanation for it. What is it?
