Hello,

I need to buy a high-end Asus mother board, 1333 fsb. The motherboards
comes with either Intel or NVIDIA chipsets. Is one better than the other?
What are the tradeoffs? Thanks.

Talal

Personal preference: first VIA, second nVidia, third nobody.

Intel = I really didn't want a new motherboard, anyway.

As always, YMMV.

If you want to overclock your system then definitely get Nvidia.
Otherwise, either is Ok.

On average though I'm inclined to think Intel will be less likely to have
any compatability problems, but nvidia may give you better performance in
certain areas.

It will really come down to exactly what area of performance you want.

I'm sure there are plenty of compariasons on the web at hardware sites, you
are best to do your own homework.

Since this an XP group and not a hardware group you are better off asking in
one of the hardware groups, (and start a flame war).

I thend to agree with Dobey here

You know the manufacturers of the chipsets but you haven't given versions

Are you getting a standard ATX for single processor or an EATX for dual
processors?

What types of cases are they going in & how many PCI/PCI Express slots are
there?

Isn't the 1333 MHz ECC Registered RAM in some cases? My server is.

All theses & more have to be taken into account

Personally, I've never preferred Intel chipsets.
