The nForce is the mobo chipset (not the graphics chip).  If I had it
to do over, I would get an AMD (which I already have) a mobo with VIA
chipset and no onboard anything (except maybe sound, since that is not
so important to me).  Also, the onboard nForce takes a proprietary
binary-only driver to work.  The nForce2 sound (a modified i810) is
pretty decent.
