Shuttle's nForce4 SFF

Shuttle also had a nForce4 SFF on display, while the externals are similar to current generation Shuttle XPCs the internals are what make Shuttle's latest interesting.

The XPC has two PCIe slots, a x16 slot and a x1 slot. A future version of the XPC will feature two x16 slots for use in SLI configurations, impressive for a SFF.

Due to popular demand Shuttle also incorporated a VIA Envy24 audio controller in their nForce4 SFF to address concerns about audio quality.

    What does the phrase '10 ft UI optimized' mean when talking about Prince of Persia?

    #3, #4 you may not like the image but I don't see any plasmas hitting 1080p. Personally, I don't care for RPTVs of any type, but I'm sure hoping that the xHD3 makes it to front projectors without incidence.

    from page 14:
    "the Taiwanese motherboard manufacturers are quite happy with nForce4 on the AMD side and they'd rather not produce any more Intel motherboards that won't sell, so ATI loses out."

    the Xpress200 isn't an intel chipset...?
    did any of the manufacturers say anything about the Xpress200 southbridge?

    #3 Shabby some people just like the 'image' of the dlp's. Some don't and I am in that category. I don't like exactly the things you have mentioned also. Also I am in England and they don't make any decent dlp's anyway :P

    Hopefully I'll be getting a Pioneer 43XDE plasma in mid March sometime :D

    Meh whats the big deal with dlp's?
    We had a 46" samsung and gave it right back, viewing from the side looks dark, samething if your a bit above the set or below.
    And when you're staring at it dead on it blinds you with its bright lamp.
    So we settled for a pioneer plasma set and its perfect, much richer colors then the dlp we had.

    Anand, "We also asked Intel if they had any tricks up their sleeve for regaining the definitive performance crown next year - unfortunately their answer was no."

    You probably meant to say "this year" (2005), and not next.
