Intel vs. nVidia Boards

[BDawg]

I'm starting to spec out my first new computer in quite a while (6 years). In the past, I've always stuck with Intel chipset motherboards since they've seemed to be the most stable.

Now, nVidia boards have become popular. They have quite a few neat features, including being the only boards to SLI nVidia cards.

If I'm not planning to SLI, is there any reason to get an nForce board? Are Intel chipsets still the most stable?

I prefer Intel boards myself. They are usually cheaper too and offer a strong southbridge (in the ICH9R and 10R) which can correspond to strong SATA + RAID performance.

I have not seen any comparisons recently however

Yeah, me neither. Seems like a lot of the performance minded people are using nForce, but they're also doing SLI.

All I want is a single 9800gtx so I can play games at 1980x1200.
