Hello all,
i'm a very happy nForce 2 user (have three ABit NF7*.* mobos) but im thinking of buying a dual core A64 soon, paired with a nForce 4 chipset mobo (probably Asus AN8-SLI).
My question is, reading http://www.nforcershq.com/ forums i've seen that there are still some problems with NF4 drivers (i've read of ethernet transfer problems, ethernet related lockups, IDE/SATA drivers problems, for the most part), sure ppl that post in forums for problems are more than the ppl that have no problems, so i take those posts with a grain of salt (also because i know that nForce chipsets, at least the 1/2 from my experience, are very picky on ram quality [but once you stick the right memory modules its stable as a rock], and because i know that most users don't really do any serious system test like memtest86[+], prime95, superpi, 3dmarks, to test system stability/ram comp. etc), what is your experience ?
With its current driver release, is it stable as nForce 2 is ?
