Core 2 Duo Nvidia incompatibility? - Page 2

I still haven't heard specific issues being mentioned. Can you be more specific on what CPU, boards, chipsets, and graphics cards are being used on these systems? The reason I ask is that it's still pretty much a blanket statement we're going on.

As I said I've sold, and continue to sell Intel boards, their own boards, along with nVidia cards. In fact, this last week I've sold 10 systems: 6 with 8800GTs, 1 with an 8800GTS 512, 2 with 9600GTs, and 1 with a 9800GX2, all running on a P31 chipset, and none of them have reported issues. I personally have a completely different Intel chipset, a P35, running an 8800GTS 512, and previously had an 8800GT (which was on a 975 board before this one), both having run with zero issues. Over the last couple of months I've even had people upgrade old systems with cards like the 6600GT, 6800GT, 7600GT, and 8600GT into newer boards with newer CPUs, again with zero issues. Either Intel is doing something right with their own boards, or I'm just that good of a builder.

either of those comments could/should have been made better than that, it would be better if you could locate a perhaps better info or get it from a reputation source an make an educated comment for (telling) something that is important like this.

it's not that i don't have a source, but my source is within those above me at work where i work at. they would have the full details to my previous statement, and they won't release all the full info to us. only tid-bits here and there. enough for us to know a generalized picture of what's going on, but not enough for us to be able to give legitimate sources.
