Let's see,,, Nvidia makes a bunch of bad graphics chips, and refuses to be open and honest about the bad chips. Now they say that these new "better" chips won't be bad like the other ones??? And you believe that????

Come on now!

At least Apple has been open and honest about the problem. Of all of the OEM's they have done the best to support their customers. Unlike HP. HP has been the worst. http://www.hplies.com HP has been lying to it's customers so much that I don't think they know how to tell the truth.

And I don't think that Nvidia knows how to tell the truth ether. I'd like to see Nvidia come clean and produce a list of all of the bad chips that they have produced.

I thought NVidia was dead, thats what the Inquirer hacks have been saying as they gloated over faulty chip problems. LOL
Now stick it in a MiniMac and I will buy it the same day.
Have a great day.

I'd wished they'd stop doing them graphs with there GPU against intergrated GFX. Most people know it's going to blow it out the water upon adverage a PC buyer would have been giving advice to stay away from such things.

Or (and this is a big OR) in PC Worst they'd be nice and tell you it's crap (cough cough INTEL GFX). They also compare against AMD well yours is alot newier now nVidia and AMD's is about 8mnths to 1 year old plus it's a 2400HD chip if I'm correct not the best 1 in the world.

I'm expecting AMD/ATi to release there mobile 4000 series or something near this chip then the stress will get onto Nvidia's back and MAC's will be dying everywhere oh the horror.

LOL.

I thought Nvidia was out of the chipset business. Yet Apple dumps Intel, and completely supplants them across the board with Nvidia chipsets.

Can we get a comment from Charlie?...ROFL.

I can't believe you guys still pay this person for his sloppy commentary (putting in midly).

i wonder who would buy this peace of garbage.smaller=better at everything yay you just gatta fork over 2.5k and up for one only.with the same math my full tower + is from the dark ages.

They're probably using the same eutectic material as ATI now: those chips should be fine...

Unless some of the earliest 9400Ms still used the defective material, which is possible given that NVIDIA only recently started changing their manufacturing process.

But there might not be enough of them to record significant failure rates within a reasonable period of time, especially since all newly introduced chips will use the new material, therefore keeping global failure rates low enough.

Then again, maybe NVIDIA decided to do the right thing and just throw away all potentially defective chips on this series, but I wouldn't bet on it.
