No.
I have a Asus board with that chipset and a Radeon card and they work just fine.

Like me, no problem with nforce2 and ati radeon. :huh:
I've a Abit mother board (nf7-s) and a radeon 9600xt 128Mo, and everything work very well under WinMe... :01:

The Nforce2 Chipset is a good choice.

I've heard it's better than the Via KT400..... but my board has never give any problems, so I stand by Via (since I haven't used nForce2)

I haven't in all my years seen a huge noticable difference between the two, they are pretty close neck and neck, i wouldn't worrie about wich one you buy, although the Nforce2 chipset is very popular...

reviews prove Nforce2 is faster, marginally - but, they're highly rated, and the KT400 has issues with DDR400, which is probably why they're popular

I thought the KT600 Was on comparison level with the Nforce chipsets, not the 400.

I would definently get nForce 2. Works great with my Radeon 9700Pro.

the only problem is that the agb bus has to be set to 66mhz in the bios when u r overclocking but as long as u do that then u have no problems
