Ten, aren't there serious issues with NForce4 motherboards with regards to audio latency and CPU usage? In fact I'm pretty sure of it, other than the so-called "Tyan" board.
Otherwise DO NOT get an NForce4 motherboard, else your latency values will be CRAP and your CPU useage will go through the roof.
The older NForce3, however, is fine.
There are also PCI-Express issues that have arisen with the new wave of motherboards, but the Intel ones can be made good by using low-end graphics cards such as the ATI X300 or similar, as opposed to the high-end X700 (or above) or nVidia 6800 graphics cards
RME NForce4/PCI-E stress test report - Although this, published in March, is now out of date, but serves as a prelude. Read the next two for more info:-
Warning - NForce4/PCI-E - SOS thread
NForce 4 user tests - Nuendo forum
This whole thing has done my head in, as I was set up to buy a laptop this spring, but for all this PCI-E crap. No-one knows wtf is the exact problem.

A ribbon-controller or XY-Pad might be nice, too, please! Thanks!
