The NVIDIA nForce 4 SLI platforms clearly offer a superior gaming platform when compared directly to the Intel 955x and Intel 945P platform. The performance of the Asus P5N32-SLI Deluxe is at the top in the benchmarks. This board is arguably one of the best gaming platforms available for Intel processors at this time, but considering the price and performance of the Intel 945P platforms, it would be difficult to justify purchasing this board for a value based gaming system.

Our F.E.A.R. results are based upon settings found in the recent Anandtech GPU performance test located here.

We have listed the minimum and maximum frame rates attained next to the product label.

    The other reviewers here at Anandtech offer their own style, thereby providing the "mix it up" factor. I personally don't think you need to adjust your style, as I happen to like the cultural infusion supplied by your literary quotes.

    Fair enough, I was just giving my personal opinion on the matter.

    What's wrong with being exposed to what the author believes to be wisdom? Surely you don't read these articles simply for the technical specifications; otherwise, you would read the spec sheet. Why, then, do you object to the author trying to relate an idea to you?

    I read the articles for their technical merits. Spec sheets do not show how the different components interact with one another nor can they show performance, stability, etc; and, most importantly of all, they're made by the manufacturer, who is hardly to be considered an unbiased source. The problem with throwing a strong idea in front of the reader before giving him article is that this idea becomes the filter through which the rest of the article is viewed. This is, of course, very effective if you are trying to persuade the user to reach the same conclusions as you, but it skews the reader's ability to analize the purely technical merits of the products.

    What makes you so sure Conroe is the last P4? ;)

    Conroe isn't a P4. It's the next generation architecture that Intel has not yet named - also referred to as the NGATIHNYN. :p
