Theres alot more to a motherboard than just the chipset, however the nForce 590 chipset is one of the best and newest available, and is only on the AM2 platform. The new 5xx chipset offers alot of advantages over the older nForce 4 chipset, you should be very pleased with it.
What model motherboard are you getting?
Ugh i'm such a noob all over again. That's unfortunately all the information I got from Alienware. Before the flaming/questions begin... understand it's financed and I can't afford to buy a new one right now.

That's the entire system and how it's labeled.
My goal is to be able to play every game on max settings without ANY or choppy gameplay. I don't want any lag and I hate load time. I am hoping this PC will do this for me.
