open-source freindly != Nvidia... by James4765 · 2004-05-21 17:15 · Score: 5, Interesting

Hope they've got Linux/BSD drivers for it - since MS still doesn't have XP 64-bit ready, and we all know that Nvidia won't release the programming info on the (very, very proprietary) chipset.
Guess the $499 is no memory, processors, drives, or whatnot - but it's still cheaper than the Tyan or MSI mobos. Just gotta save up the $2000 for the Opteron 250's...<grin>
