Sony has made the switch to Nvidia for graphics performance in a new desktop PC based on the Athlon XP chip.
The new Vaio PCV-RXA842, introduced in retail stores over the weekend, includes Advanced Micro Devices' Athlon XP 2400+ processor. The $999 Vaio PCV-RXA842 is Sony's first to be based on Nvidia's nForce chipset, marking a step forward for how Sony systems use graphics technology. A chipset acts like a PC's nervous system, shuttling data between components such as the processor and memory.
