Did any of your last cpus ever died?

That's a really dumb question. nForce boards run best with nvidia cards, but non-nForce boards with single PCI-E slots run both the same way. nForce is nvidia. Might as well have gone for a 275 since you have an nForce.

EDIT: Its not like you need to get an nForce for an nvidia card, but why would you get nForce if you don't want nvidia? I just want to know why. Its not like it's wrong.

Because I had 4GB of DDR3 at the time, and only the 790i had DDR3 support at that time for an Intel processor.

I also had to go to ATI, as I was having a lockup issue for a while, and I wasn't sure if it was NVIDIA GPU Drivers or NVIDIA Nforce drivers, so I changed to ATI to eliminate one of the two possible causes (it was bad Nforce drivers; an update fixed the issue).

That, and Crimson Skies won't work properly with NVIDIA GPU's, due to a (since fixed) bug in its drivers that the game programmers used at the time.

nForce boards won't make a big/notable difference if your not running SLi...

He already gave me a satisfactory reply, but anyway, if they don't make a difference, why get nForce?

^Price? Future possibility to SLI,etc?

I don't like Nvidia chipset... only have caused pain...

I prefer Intel or AMD chipsets.

I'd like to point-out that it's only since the P35 that people give any merit to Intel chipsets. NVidia chipsets AREN'T bad, it's simply that they got supplanted by others in a somehow unexpected way.
