Woah, steady. How do we know if OEMs have designs with the nForce200 chip? Boards won't be seen until November or so I guess. Most of them will be able to include it in their top boards with no additional cost (they were overcharging like hell anyway) if they feel their margins will be better off for it.

As I said earlier, I feel NV will be subsidising this chip anyway. They NEED SLI on Intel if for nothing by PR.

I have to say, from where I'm standing, you'd have to be nuts to invest in NV for the long term at the moment. They'll make a nice comeback at ATI easily enough I assume, but after that things are looking very dark at the moment. They desperately need to get Intel on their side, something Intel aren't exactly going to be in a hurry to do with Larrabee coming along.
