Actually I may change my mind on that motherboard deal. The Asus A7N8X
has even cooler stuff, and the nForce2 chipset kicks ass. The only
problem being they aren't very available yet. And it even gives you
better audio than the Audigy2. I mean would you ever believe that
integrated audio could be better than a top of the line (consumer grade
anyway) sound card?

Sounds like you may have some inside info on that  FX there huh? If you
can't say I understand. But if it "really is that good" (Im assuming you
have seen how amazing the 9700 pru really is right?) that'll be
something to see, even if it is coming out at $500 as the rumors
indicate. 

I personally love the All-in-wonders for their multimedia capabilities
alone. Nvidias never really offered much for those of us who wanted tv
capability with our systems. 

Of course what I'd REALLY love to see is a video card that can do
realtime film quality 3d rendering (24-32 FPS at DVD resolutions lets
say, not really film resolution). If that is what you mean by "worth it"
then sign me up brother, but somehow I don't think it is.
