nVidia appears to be at a turning point. Where the original nForce chipset was a demonstration of the possibilities of integrated graphics, the nForce2 is clearly geared towards the digital content generation of users who are looking for uncompromised performance.

Looks like this is getting to be a very popular board. Newegg has increased the price this week from $145 for the Deluxe version to $155. It's still $120 for the standard.

Standard is now $124. Deluxe remains $155. Yes, they are popular. I think it may be time to check out the Epox. $112 for the LAN/Serial ATA version and $88 for the standard version.

You might have missed this comparison at Anandtech, check it out. The Epox comes out on top for best overall board. It's a long review but very insightful if you are thinking about buying this chipset.

Deluxe is now $160 @Newegg. You keep buying, they keep increasing the cost.

It all boils down to supply and demand.

Supply=low, demand=high equals a higher price.

I know 2 friends with these boards and they love them. My only gripe is that the MOSFETS are close to the CPU socket and makes installing larger Heatsinks much more difficult. SLK-900s for example will NOT fit without modifications. Still, a great solid board and I really feel they are worth the price! Throw in a nice HighPoint RAID Controller and you've got a kicking computer!

Yes I have this board and am currently running it. I had some problems with the Gigabyte GA7VRXP.. so i had to swith the the A7N8X and havent had a problem yet. It ahs awesome onboard sound i havent even bought a sound card yet. Great board Not too bad of pricing. But worth the little bit of extra money
