Has anyone used an Nvidia Chipset?  I see they have drivers for NForce 1,2
and 3.  Only Windows Drivers for the NForce 4 and nothing really states they
will be providing Linux drivers yet.

with the amount of scsi devices in existance i don't think scsi is going 
away any time soon. give the cost of fiber channel, devices like tape 
drives, media libraries, etc will remain scsi.
