Intel or NVIDIA Chipset ?

[titani]

Hello,

Intel Makes the CPUs. Yet you can get a motherobard with an NVIDIA
chipset. Are they any advantages to a motherboard with NVIDIA chipset
versus a motherboard with an Intel chipset?

Thanks,

You need a program that SLI-multitask using the GPU and the CPU. It's
doable if there is a demand... So be patient!

Everything will work better together, Intel CPU and Intel chipset.

The disadvantage is you get less bang for the buck.

Tomshardware has price/performance charts and you have to decide how much of
each you want.

As long as the chipset is designed properly and has all the necessary
features, it shouldn't really matter which brand chipset you use. There
would be no inherent advantage to use an nVidia chipset over an Intel
chipset with an Intel CPU.

I would prefer to use an Intel chipset with an Intel CPU, but that's
just my preference.
