Off topic:
I use dual LANs on my server at home. One is for my shared internet resources over the web (GameVoice, UT2003, etc) and the other one is for my internal LAN connection for file sharring and other stuff. Separated the two using IP addresses.

On Topic:
I would still get an nForce2 board if I was going to take the plunge. Maybe wait a bit for a few revisions from the manufacutures. I have just been burned too many times with VIA chipsets to simply believe that they are "our savior" (SIS is not much better either).

In all honesty, I WISH Intel would acutally make a Socket A chipset platform (oximoron, I know). The intel support for their chipsets is wonderful and their drivers seem to fix SO many more problems than they create AND they are so much easier to deal with. Just my personal experience.

Too bad we dont live in a perfect world.........
