Never ever EVER buy an nForce motherboard.

The latest trick from nVidia to screw everyone over is an inability to playback video when using an nVidia graphics card on the new nForce 7 chipsets. From the FAQ on their site, they are now aware of the problem (only took a couple of months) and are "working hard" to fix it.
I figured that the nForce boards must have improved since the old nForce2 days but apparently they just cost more and crash more frequently. Not to mention the fiasco to do with wireless drivers and nForce chipsets that cause a system lockup.
Fuck nForce boards. Do yourselves a favour and buy an Intel board. For more links to what the video corruption problem looks like and a plethora of complaining customers (pretty sure nVidia is calling us 'suckers' by now) check out this post on the nvidia forums. Or search something like nForce video artifacts in Google to be swamped with reports of this occurring.
Here is my open letter to nVidia which you are more than welcome to support by leaving a comment...
Remember to shut down any virtual machines or videos while reading this site so your pc doesn't lock up. Unless of course you bought Intel, in which case.. Swap you?

Dear nVidia,
Eat a dick. Get the drivers right before you release the hardware or give us back our money for this unusable crap.
Yours sincerely,

I am nearly certain the word at large are currently suckers, but i can at least thank them for making my next purchasing decision that much easier.
