Really?  I'm glad to hear that.  I've been hesitant to get an nForce 
mobo after the troubles I've had with getting the nvidia video driver 
working (I can handle non-accelerated graphics, but if it can't find the 
southbridge, that may cause install problems).  Are the chipset drivers 
more free, or are they generic enough that you can install then upgrade? 
  I've never really looked into it
